Lithium rechargeable fillet knives: Rapala R 12 or Bubba Pro?

I've had the Rapala for 3 years and absolutely love it. It took a few fish to get accustomed to the handling, but well worth it. I feel safer using it over a traditional blade especially when filletting fish in the cold or in dim light. Have used it extensively on walleyes, northern pike and perch. Battery life is excellent and have gone 7 days of use in a row without recharge.
I got the r12 rapala just before ice season works great plenty of battery life. It's just as good as my plug in rapala HD just with better features like where the trigger is and your not battling with the cord also like that I can use the blades from my corded HD rapala and the case is nice.
Very disappointed with the bubba. Slow speed. All you could do to get the skin off a fillet . Used it twice with same results. Super nice case though. Also had to return it. Trigger didn't work. Heavy handle gets your wrist sore if fileting any amount. Save your money
