Bubba or Rapala knife?

[Tikka280ai]

I was just looking at the rapala r12 and the battery looks suspiciously like a milwaukee m12 battery.

So I ordered one and hope to hell it'll fit just because

I use the Bubba with rapala blades. The Bubba blades just seemed harder to use.

I bought the fancy Bubba case with all the blades a couple years ago. Mainly because I noticed how many Scheels was shipping out every day. At first I hated it. To fish and my hand cramped up from trying to grip the handle. This year it seems to fit better. I probably clean fish faster better and with less work then ever before. But yes is was not comfortable at first.

I hated the bubba grip at first but now I really like it. I use the blade from the pld mister twister knife. The ones that came with the bubba are too aggressive for my liking.

Another thing about big hands.............they make a small wiener look even smaller.

I was previously unaware, but apparently I have ginormous hands.

Had a corded Rapala that bit the dust after lots of fish, bought a corded Bubba that didn't make it two season and I wasn't keeping as much (one of my daughters became allergic to fish, so was adapting), bought a Bubba cordless (got lots of blades now) and been satisfied for the most part. Yeah the handle isn't great but I've got used to it I guess, I like the blades, batteries seem to hold up well for me, feel like the motor/blades could be faster but either way it gets the job done.

I have the cordless Bubba and like it. I haven't used any other electric knife so I can't compare

I used electric for a while, pretty much use standard knives now... Maybe a little slower, but never have to worry about charging batteries or plugging them in. Cleanup is easier also!

Won a bubby, gave it to my son for Christmas last year.. Scored a big happy gift for him, and saved me the $$$ of actually buying it. He seems to really like it. I have the Rapala at least 10 years now, really like it, zero problems.

I just got a bubba cordless, Its decent. Not a lot of experience with the rapala cordless, but only complaint ive heard from them that use it is the trigger placement on top takes some getting used to. Only complaint I have on the bubba is that it seems heavier than I would like. Maybe just need to get used to it.

I currently have a Bubba. It's ok I guess, nothing special to be honest. My old Mr. Twister I had for 20 years worked just as good at a fraction of the cost. Meh...

I like the corded Rapala HD.

Filleting with bubba feels like you’re holding a beer can.

If that was a good thing, your traditional filet knives would also have beer can sized handles.

Conclusion? Somebody from another country or someone with zero experience filleting fish designed the bubba.
