Bubba or Rapala?

[mossyoakpro]

I'm going to invest in one of the lithium cordless fillet knives....what's everyone's preference between Bubba and Rapala? TIA

Bubba hands down!
But it does take some getting used to ! The blades are very,very sharp it’s easy to cut right thru the fish also the handle on mine is bulky but that fits my big hand perfectly ! I have filleted as many as 60 fish on the same battery and was still going strong not sure how long it would last .

My son just bought the Rapala R12 version. He’s very pleased with it.

I have a bubba. Its ok overall. It does not cut near as quick as a corded knife imo. My corded rapala rips thru fish quick.

Hard for me to spend that kind of $. I bought the cheap one from bass pro. 2 years old now. Works for me. Never had a problem.

I have both. The motor turns a lot faster on the Rapala R12. The cordless bubba is slow

I bought a Bubba back in 2019 off ebay. One of the batteries it came with didn't work at all. Contacted the seller he said contact Bubba. Sent them an email and they said since it wasn't bought from brick and mortar store they wouldn't warranty it. Said okay so down to one battery. I used it for maybe a year and that battery quit. I refuse to buy more replacement batteries. Go on Bubba site and read the reviews. I'm not paying $70 - $80 a year for a battery.

I have the Rapala and have been pleased with it. I did have an issue with trigger sticking but they asked that I send it back and they sent me a new one. I have cleaned well over 150 fish on one battery and still going strong
