    Default best hand fish scaler?


    I normally filet everything, but I am going to catch a lot of bream out some low ponds and cook them whole, I am tired of using a spoon LOL.

    thanks

    A little more expensive than a spoon, but it works great. - Yamasho brass fish scaler. Here is an amazon link https://www.amazon.com/Yamasho-BUL20...df655b0300c32d

    I always just used the backside of the fillet knife or top I guess some would call it.

    This is what I use in the kitchen. Scales don’t fly everywhere. Fits most electric knives too.

    Curry comb for horses. I kind of feel sorry for the fish.
    Maybe they will bite this one……

    I never had a problem with a spoon. Scales don't fly, and price is right.

    The best I've ever used. I paid $1 a piece at Toledo Tackle the last time I was there. They last a long time, scales don't fly and overall a great product. Thanks to my fiends shadow for turning me on them. They are great on bream and small bass and whole fryer size sac-a-lait.

    PM me your address and I'll send you a Bicco fish scaler. I've got a brand new spare. Been using them over 30 years and they work great. No more flying scales. It's like vacuuming scales off the fish.
