Manual vs electric fillet knives

[Ole fisherman]

Thanks for your input...been using manual blades for so long that it has become second nature....just a little gun shy about spending the money if I don't like it. Next big decision is which one ? How much of the reviews are actual and real ? Leaning toward a non battery unit, but...which one ?

I use an American Angler electric fillet knives. It has held up well. I think I have used it for 5-6 years and no issues yet. I probably clean around 200 walleyes a year or so. Just like stated previously you have to find a blade you like. I actually use the Mister Twister blades in mine. The reason I don't use the Mister Twister knives is the gears go out. I have ran a Bubba blade and I didn't like it.

you can get the Bubba off eBay for just over 120.00 but I did find one listing for 90.00. make sure you get one with 2 lithium batteries and either 4 or 5 blades in a case or pouch if you go this route. and I've been using electric knives for about 25 years and tried them all. I started with cheap carving knives from Walmart which worked great for a while. I've used Mister Twister but upgraded to American Angler knives, I even tried the Pirana knife which was a good knife and the Mister Twister blade worked on it. but after seeing the Bubba cordless in action I think it is the best choice.

At those prices on Ebay, are they used or new ?
Thanks for the reviews !
