Fillet Like A Pro: Bubba Cordless Fillet Knife Review

[@FirstRideOutdoors]

i mean if you're really slow, i get it, but honestly manual knifes, knowing what you're doing will always be the best.

[@joshandhuntersadventures5046]

Are you talking about a fixed blade filet knife? I just can’t see doing 15-30 a day with a fixed blade. This time of year we will catch a bunch and that would be time consuming doing it all with a fixed blade. Where an electric you can go really fast.

Bought one….was like $180. Used it on 1 Crappie, put it away, charged battery….Not impressed at all. My round handle, standard meat slicing Hamilton Beach plug-in version I got at Goodwill for $4 will walk circles around this high dollar Bubba thing. And of course I’m use to older style blade designs. The Bubba’s not bad…it’s just slow. The best way I found “For Me” to use it is to use Bubba to bust through the ribs then once I flip the fillet to remove the meat I use my manual fillet knife like my rubber handle Rapala to slip that fillet off body. Should have looked at a bunch of reviews first before pulling the trigger on this Bubba one.

Ya I didn’t pay that much for mine luckily I got it on sale. So far I really can’t complain about it. I would like to test it against the Rapala though. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Looking at these (obviously)... Thanks for the honest "for you" comments. More folks need to be more forthcoming with what "they" honestly think vice saying what folks might want to hear. (And I'm not saying J&H's Adventures did anything of the sort)

[@joshandhuntersadventures5046]

Thanks sorry this comment just popped up. Hope you got you one to try.

I find that they just seem too slow. My fishing partner uses the bubba on walleye. I can paint two walls and watch them dry before he makes his way through a 26”er. I prefer a sharp, fixed blade fillet knife.

[@joshandhuntersadventures5046]

Fixed blade is good to. Sometimes I feel like you can save a little more meat using a fixed.

[@dennismerrow4227]

Sorry, not throwing any rocks at you or your filet guy. But from panfish to walleyes i have used electric and manuals to clean them and i will grab my 4" or 6" rapala that are kept sharp on a diamond trihone and strop. Either and any knife will dull up going thru bone and its not a good time when they get that way with a stack of them left to clean.

[@joshandhuntersadventures5046]

Totally understand but for me an electric is a lot faster. 30 crappie a day for multiple days a week would be time consuming without an electric knife. Thanks for watching and commenting though. We appreciate it.

​@joshandhuntersadventures5046 good luck hunting and fishing ,stay safe God Bless

[@joshandhuntersadventures5046]

@@dennismerrow4227 thank you I appreciate that. Same to you also.

[@TheJonesn]

Knife is good except the trigger...that thing isn't right at all. Hurts my finger

[@joshandhuntersadventures5046]

Is it the guard that bothers you?

[@richardhenderson5342]

I agree. Trigger takes a lot of pressure to hold. Finger tires out if doing a lot of filleting.

[@paulwilcox1]

Lot of waste

[@joshandhuntersadventures5046]

Thanks for watching we appreciate it!

[@TerrySprey]

Personally I’ll stick with a regular knife. I have an electric knife for turkey always go back to my standard knives

[@joshandhuntersadventures5046]

What ever works best for you is what you need to use. If you are comfortable with a fixed fillet knife it’s best to stay with what is most comfortable for you. Thanks for watching!

[@jdnices]

Looks like it leaves a lot of meat on the bone .

[@joshandhuntersadventures5046]

They do a great job for us I’m sure you can get a small fillet knife and do each one but we get the main cut of meat. You do 30 a day you’re not gonna spend hours cleaning them with a little fillet knife.

Thing is junk
