Electric or Old School

[ibmack]

American anglers are dang hard to find in stores and I dont know why? If I had a store I would want a quality product stocked in it so it would help build my stores reputation. At one time they were in alot of stores but then suddenly was not anymore. They got hard to find.

I believe I saw some on a shelf at hatchet jacks in North Little Rock as well.

just bought me one on eBay. 89.50 with free shipping

I have always used a reg. Rapalas, but decided on a rapala lith. ion battery knife and with the way the buffalo knats and skeeters have been where I live, cleaning a limit of crappies just got a lot faster and Is saving me a good chewing and loss of blood. Love the battery operated Rapala but it took me a few years to eventually finally switch and glad I did. Still use my knives for small catches and other fish.

Rapala. Electric 40 bucks at Walmart extra blades 7 bucks can do 2 fish a min pretty easy crappie or gills no problem cutting through skin. I do use regular Rapala to cut out ribs. The electric fits the hand great also have one of the Berkeley cordless for mobile trips but do prefer cored when near electric .been going strong for over 3 years generally 25- 50 fish a cleaning

I have a collection of fillet knives I've bought over the last 40 years, I keep them in the garage. the wife grabbed one once to use to cut something out in flower garden, I'm not sure what it was she cut and it was my favorite knife at the time, but when I seen it laying on the work bench covered in dirt and all knicked up my heart skipped a beat. I cleaned it up and wrapped it in a towel and put it away. I never used that knife again. later in years went to electric and have been so ever since.

I have both but really prefer a regular fillet knife. If I need to get it done quick I use the electrics. I recently bought a Rapala Lithium rechargeable for those times. I prefer to fillet over the ribs not thru them and always can get a closer cut with a old school geezer knife. I have an assortment of them.
