Are they as good as advertised.
I have one. It works well on bigger fish, but I can't do a very good job on smaller fish with it. I prefer the wooden handle Rapala knives.
I’m happy with mine. Especially after finding out the Mr. Twister blades fit it.
Mine is 2 years old. Battery life is good on mine. I cleaned 30 big ones the other day and it still showed full power.

Go to YouTube and watch the comparison videos of it and you’ll get your answer very truly and clearly. Then you decide what knife you want.
Fixed blade or electric? I've used fix blade bubbas for gosh probably 10 years now, absolutely love them. 9" tapered flex for crappie

Love the bubba !
took a bit getting used to on smaller fish so sharp they cut through the bones easily but absolutely love it now !
I left my rapala behind at a lake by mistake and picked up a bubba. I like it but think it my rapala was better. Seems like the rapala was faster. Now they have the new rapala and I hear it’s even better.
The Rapala R12 is pretty awesome. Heard several people saying they love it the best.
:twocents I like Bubba Blades been rocking them for years. Bought 2 Cordless & Cordless isn't for me but to each their own. What I will say about Bubba & Dexter that I'm not pleased about is they possibly may be using the same distribution supply for their handle or materials because if you store the knives "Outside they Mold".:puke Yeppers something about keeping them outside Molds their handles. At $100 knives I expect more out of an Outdoor Utensil. That's just me. PIcs attached.
What I've discovered is that if I bought Black Handle knives that come in storage cases & packs I take them to a "Professional Knife Sharpener" & the guy I use will get ANY KNIFE RAZOR SHARP & they last longer in regards to the knives themselves. You don't have to take my advice but you asked & I'm responding in regards to help you save where people didn't help me. I now use the Bubba Blades still, Multiple Dexter Blades that Mold Also, lower priced Amazon knives, & my go to professionally sharpened Ugly Stix knives that came as a Set that DO NOT MOLD WHEN LEFT OUTDOORS & were less expensive. I'm in ZERO WAY telling you not to buy Bubba Blades. I'm just saying if you store them outside the handles will mold (but inside they won't), & that I can notice the differencefeom purchasing them when they were a smaller company to now the more mass produced quality has slipped a little while their prices have went up.:Rofl Try them.

Billy Bay fixed blade knife , carefully or you will lose a finger , you and your wallet can thank me after you get the stitches out if you slip with it ….
Most name brand stuff can be found no named and sometimes at 2 or 3 times better for a tenth of the price….
Pay attention, don’t overpay , this is the way …..:highfive
that is what I still use. I have one that is probably 50 years old.Quote:

l still us the Mister Twister green and yellow electric filet knife. It get's hot after about seven fish so I have to let it cool abit but it cleans them just fine. I also still use the old wooden handle Rapala filet knife. Keep it sharp and it works as good as the day I bought it in 1988. I have never tried a cordless knife so I can't comment on those.
Same here on the green and yellow. I refuse to clean bluegill or shellcrackers with anything else. Ive just started giving up and letting it get hot and cook, it hasnt died yet. I normally whack sides off 20 or so, then let it cool aome while i use a fixed knife to remove ribs and skin. I cleaned 80 bluegill like this once, in 90deg temps with no air flow (in the shade thankfully). I'm not sure how they built these square tanks, but i ran it until it was almost too hot to touch and it just wont die.Quote:
