I have had a corded bubba blade for a few years now, it does a great job, but was wondering about a cordless one, and if it would do as good a job as the corded?
I have watched a couple of videos and it looks slow to me? may have just been the guy using it? I think I could have fileted 3 fish to his one.
Anyone used both and could compare?
Not having to hassle with an extension cord would be a big plus.
I’ve not used a corded as where I fillet fish doesn’t have power. I got the cordless bubba and really like it. It has taken a little bit to get used to, but now I can cut through more fish faster than manual filleting. Would recommend

I have the Bubba lithion ion cordless and find it quite lacking. Nothing near the power or speed of the corded American Angler or Rapala filet knives I have. It is handy when I have only a few fish to clean and don't want to mess with pulling out the extension cord.
Bubba and rapala r12 cordless are good knives.I went with the rapala r12,because that's what most crappie guides recommended.

I have the Bubba Blade cordless and the Rapala R12 heavy duty cordless, and to me, it’s not even close. The R12 has been much better/faster.
I do not like any of the Bubba products because of the actual blades stink. They leave fish sawdust
I’ve not tried a Bubba, but if I ever kill my Rapala corded, I’ll try the Rapala cordless. The Rapala has lasted me a long time.
I have had both the Bubba corded and cordless, you just have to let the blade work and not force it. I did finally settle on the Rapala R12 and have not looked back.
I threw the blades away after the first use, I use Mister Twister blades.Quote:

I used a Mr twister for years and it did take a few times to get use to the Bubba blades, but now I like them.

I have the Bubba cordless, it is ok. My buddies Rapala R12 is roughly half again as fast, we traded just to make sure it was not my lack of talent, he wanted his back quickly. But neither is a match for my corded American Angler.
Been waiting about 15 years for AA to come out with a cordless model. They said why mess with perfection. I use my R12 when I’m outside but my AA is unbeatable. Tried the bubba and sold it for $20 less than I paid for it. Total garbage to me. It ripped my fish instead of cutting them.Quote:

You can use all of the corded models with a power inverter.
Corded Mister twister Saltwater series for me every day!
Good thread...I'm in the market for something.
When my AA corded fillet knife was dying, I went to the cordless BPS rechargeable fillet knife. It just seems like its running at about 75% of the speed of a corded knife. The blades don't seem to be very sharp either but, I wonder if the speed issue makes them just feel dull. I don't fillet a lot of fish at one time, so I tolerate it.
I prefer a cordless knife if possible, but I was looking to get something different this spring. I was leaning towards the Bubba but, it looks like the Rapala R12 may be a better option.
