Cordless fillet knife
I've really liked my Bubba electric fillet knife for bigger fish, but for the smaller ones I used Bubba's 7" tapered. My main problem with the electric fillet knives in general is I just feel like there ends up being more wasted meat, but maybe I'm just more used to the manual cut and being able to feel my way easier than with the electric fillet.
I own a couple of regular Bubba knives. For me the handles are too big. Forced myself to use several times, but I could not place the knife flat enough the way I filet a fish. I have not tried their cordless model. Also, the knives did not come with any kind of edge and I had to work a long time put in a sharp edge on the knives.
I have the rapala with the regular battery. It does fine. I bought a second one so I had 2 batteries. Together over the 3 or 4 years I've had them, they cleaned a lot of fish. I bought them mostly for going to Canada but have used them everywhere. I'm thinking the ion battery is the way to go. Good luck.
Very happy with the Rapala Ion. We took it on a fly in a couple years back and it died on the last fish of the trip. My buddies were so impressed they take it on fly ins even when I am not there.
I really never got the hang of using an electric filet knife. Especially on the panfish. Can still whip them out pretty quick with my old standard rapala knifes.
