Unique to me anyways. Saw a scaler that used a cordless drill with an eggbeater attached to it. Seemed to work well.

I can remember the drag behind the boat fish scalers they used to sell in the back of outdoor magazines
The guy in the Tik-Tok video didn't make a mess.:biggrinQuote:

Pretty cool DIY project back then.

I live in race horse country and the local hardware store carries feed and supplies. I spied a little $5 deal sitting on a shelf- Curry Comb. I thought fish scaler. Don’t know why, it just kind of popped in there.
It knocks the slobber off them scales and I mean fast, easy and thorough. I don’t jab myself on the spines as it has a nice handle that keeps my fingers away. Best scaler I have ever used and it will last me a long time. I think you will start eating more whole fish if you get one.

That looks like it would do the job in a hurry!
Should get it done nicely
we had one of these at home when I was a kid. Used it on our dog to get out burrs etc.Quote:

Sometimes skin on filets are nice. Scaleless of course.:biggrin
One of my older buddies had one of those and found it can do too good of a job if you left it out too long or pulled it too fast. He destroyed several baskets of fish finding out those limits. He passed on a few years ago. I bet one of his boys still has it as it was well built. :scratchheadQuote:

Check out the Bicco fish scaler. They eliminate flying scales, take them off like a vacuum, and make the others look like junk. Spearfishing World - Bicco Fish Scaler Demo - Spearfishing Miami - YouTube
**edit---The guy using the scaler in the video doesn't have much practice with it. It really is fast, easy, and without much mess.
