BUBBA ELECTRIC FILLET KNIFE

The celebratory mood after a great day of fishing faded as I stared at a cooler stuffed with fish and contemplated the work ahead. Suddenly, my fishing buddies found a reason to skip out before I even set up the fillet table. No worries—Bubba to the rescue. I unzipped the EVA-molded carrying case of my Bubba cordless electric fillet knife, snapped in the appropriately sized serrated twin blades for the fish we caught, and went to work. The knife is powered by a rechargeable lithiumion battery, and it sports an ergonomic nonslip grip (with the iconic Bubba red texture) and a trigger switch with a guard and safety. The reciprocating action of the blades made short work of filleting

20 tasty Pacific rockfish. The kit includes four blade sets, each with a different width for filleting anything from yellow perch to yellowfin tuna. It has been designed to maximize motor transmission output for extraordinary torque. Easy to remove and wash, the blades are constructed from high-carbon stainless steel and coated with titanium nitride, making them extremely corrosionresistant. The kit includes two lithium-ion batteries, each with a battery-charge indicator. There’s also a charging cord. The electric knife works so well, it has found duties elsewhere in our household carving turkeys and roasts for family dinners. $159.95; bubba.com
