Re: Manual vs electric fillet knives
From those I have spoke with the Bubba and Rapala seem to be the most popular choices. I only get a few walleye each season so the higher catch numbers with Perch is my question. Is the electric really worth the expense to clean 25-30 perch each outing? Is it really faster? I don't scale my perch as I cut the skin off after filleting. Getting thru those scale on the initial cuts are one of the issues.
Does an electric make a difference? Does the longer blades on electric make them more difficult to handle? Again...thanks for any suggestions or recomendations.......Last edited by Ole fisherman; Yesterday at 11:30 AM. Reason: Crappy spell checker

Re: Manual vs electric fillet knives
A few years ago we made a trip out in September and got a good mess of perch. I had no problem cleaning them with my electric and an 8 inch blade. I am right handed so I always wear a Rapala glove on my left hand that is holding the fish.

Good to know that longer blade works well. How does it cut thru scales or do you scale your perch first

It will cut right through the scales. I will add that I use a manual knives to take rib bones out on both walleyes and perch. I think a save more meat that way. If possible I would learn to use an electric on some nice eyes to get the feel of it. Then move to perch.
