Ref the fillet knives. Imo after the few fish I've cut up the CutCo knife is the best. That sumbitch holds it's edge way better than any other knife I've owned, and I've had lots.

Bubba are nice but that fat ass handle gets in the way especially when skinning larger fish. Also my Bubba that was given to me (folding version) fell apart.

I like them battery ones for our rock fish (black and blue bombers) as they have dinosaur thick narly scales. Sometimes I blast the scales off but if I don't, those damn scales suck.

You cleaning halibut vs me cleaning walleye is much different. For walleye the electric knives are very nice. Can clean a bunch of fish quick. I can see how a regular knife would be better for 40 lb+ halibut though.

My Brothers fillet a ton of fish and their complaint with the bubba is that it’s too bulky and they’ve switched to the battery rapala and love it. Dad and I just got cordless rapala and have zero complaints.
You’ll have to let us know what you think of the bubba.

Yeah not thrilled with the Bubba. Handle is awkward and not near the strength of the corded rapala. Ask them if the battery rapala is weaker than the corded. I could put up with the bubba handle if that's the only difference.

I can’t say whether it’s weaker or not but from their reports, and they’ve used them all, they really like it and the battery life is great. I absolutely enjoyed it the one time I’ve used it now.
