Filet Knife Bargain

Bought one of these filet knives at WalMart just to try out. Only 14.87 so I figured what the heck. I cleaned the 60 big crappie I caught this Friday and Saturday with it and for the money, it works like a champ. Ran right through those Hawgs without a hitch. The only thing bad was the position on the blade release buttons. I hit it a few times with my hand while fileting the fish and one side of the blade released. No big deal, but for less than 15 bucks not much to complain about. They only had one at the Walmart in Batesville so when I went to Oxford to eat, I stopped at the Wally World there and got another one. They had 3. My buddy Crazy Coop bought one too. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f3087cdcbe.jpg

I know it's not a 90.00 American Angler, but not everybody can afford those. You can buy 6 of these for the same money tho!!!!!

After talking good about my rapala that had worked for years, I think my trigger switch is going out on me. Took 2 fish to get it to quit acting up but ended up working right for the other 28. I ordered an American angler after using one the other day, thing is like a chainsaw! But I agree, for the coin, those are decent little knives

I had a complete opposite experience with one of those, it's still laying in the back of my truck where I threw it

A man after my own heart, don't throw nothing away. :Rofl:Rofl

Wrong, going to get it out and put in back in the package and get my minner money back.

I bought one it burnt up after about 100 fish. Took it back gave me another one told the lady see you in about 100 more.

Mine made it through 60 head. Guess I only have 40 more left. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Which model American Angler are you guys referring too?

I bought that exact one 2 weekends ago and have went through about 90 fish so far it has worked great.

That's the one I just got. Think it's a step down from the one I used the other day

It is a bargain been using one all year because the new American Angler blades I've been ordering don't last long even tho I have owned the knife since 96.

Mine is a couple of years older than that. You are correct, I messed up and lost one of my original blades. Have bought several sets, American angler, rapala and no names and none perform like the old original blades.

Still one of the best I've used. I like the ergonomics of it. Got some arthritis in my fingers and it helps.

i bought the same one a few weeks ago and I've been pleased. When it goes out, I'll get another one. Not much more than replacement blades.

Thanks Mo . That looks like top of the line American Angler. But it's not the "chainsaw" Model you referred too??

I just looked at them again and it looks to be the only yellow one they offer. May have been an older model or my recall may not be perfect though. Seems pretty powerful though. Will comment after this weekend if I catch any fish
