Received 1 Like on 1 Post. Depends on what you want to spend. I use the DMT stones in coarse-->fine then use the large ceramic spyderco stone in ultra fine for finishing/maintaining. You could go cheap at first, but then you'll eventually end up spending twice as much like I did if you continue to sharpen. Good luck.
Dexter Russel cimeter and breakers in 10-12" soft grip or sani-grip: ~~~$35 -$45. Bubba blade: Has massive bolster (or quillion or guard) for drunks or clumsy people. Bubba blade: Has bolster even on the back edge of the blade in case of knife fight or really drunk people. trying to clean fish with the dull side.
All depends what you are filleting. I dont use the same knife on a sea bass as I would on say, a codfish or a salmon. For me the bigger the fish the wider the blade must be. Both must be thin and flexible. If its a knife I use at home I use carbon steel, if on the boat stainless.
Bubba knife is a SCIMITAR style knife with the curved blade. This knife is designed to cut protein with bones, mainly MEAT. You will see this style knife is every butcher shop, but you will rarely see this style knife in a fish cutting house. The blade is too thick to work with cutting through fish flesh, it creates too much drag.
Equipment-. You will be bottom fishing on the way out and potentially back. I rig as follows for bottom fishing: 1. Combo 1- I keep the swivel on and either keep a jig on for Mahi or a ling or put a wire hook on for kings if they are running and I want to freeline a sardine. 2. I use a chicken rig for beeliner.
are never used to break down fish. If you plan on using these knives on a boat, bad idea. If you are left handed, prepare to pay dearly for a Japanese blade. When it comes to these style knives, a $150 blade is the same as a $30 blade, decent quality Atsu Deba will cost $350 or more, even more for a Magurokiri,
Has anyone had issues with their Bubba Electric Cordless Knife? Last year my wife bought me a Bubba electric Knife kit with 5 different blades a charger and 2 batteries. I fish about 2-3 days a month. I catch my fair share of fish but by no means am I bring home tons of fish. When I got the knife, I charged both batteries fully.
I also use the Sweedish made Rapala. All work well. I sharpen them with an electric Chef's Choice. If filleting several fish, its always handy to have a small touch up sharpener with you. A sharp fillet blade can otherwise start to loose its best edge quickly. I have not used the Bubba knife. The comments about them are interesting.
(This knife was the factory replacement he got from the first one going bad) There is a plastic gear that was shredded by a brass main drive gear. Looks like a bad setup, plastic vs metal gears usually leads to trouble when powered by electric or combustion power.
Here is a vid of the small marlin on the Blue Chaser 83/40 R Power Max. Obviously, a 200 class bft would be completely different than a 100lb blue marlin.
