Get the rapala, a friend tried one the brand x ones and it burned up after a couple of times using it.

Go to Wally World and get your self a black-n-decker one from the appliance section. They may be 12 to 15 bucks. I've been using the same one since 1991 and have cleaned into the thousand's of crappies, perch, gills, bass, eyes, steelies and who know what else it's seen and it still runs like brand new. The blades that you get on them doesn't have a pointed end so you can't get out the eye cheeks with it but thats the only thing they won't do.

I agree with C.C.

I have used the "cheapie" Black & Decker for about 7 years now (hundreds of fish cleaned) with no issues at all.

I tried an american angler fillet knife once but the "rechargable" fillet knife died on me within two years. Wont hold a charge at all any more so it was thrown away.

Another vote for the corded American Angler. Used to buy regular GE electric knives, usually burned out after one year. I've had the Angler six years now and still going strong. I use it hard too, not only filleting many fish but also taking corn off the cob in the fall for freezing.

I've had a Mister Twister for years, and a couple years ago, got a American Angler,because a friend recommended it. Great knife...!

i have one with 2 different sets of knives tried it on a few fish and cant stand it give me a real knife anyday just my 2¢

Not all electric knives are created equally. If you look at the shape of the serration it should be a shallow scallop for panfish. If it is to aggressive it just rips through everything. I've checked out the black and deckers and their blades are good. I've only got one hand so the electric has made it a lot easier for me to clean fish!!!

The same Mr Twister for the last 25 years for me. It is bound to die, and when it does I will get another Mr Twister.

I'm into my 7th year with my Rapala 110v model. Put new blades on it last year and it cuts like new. It's been a great knife.

I have been using the Mr Twister Electric Fisherman. Great electric knife. It has cut down my cleaning time dramatically.

I just bought the rapala deluxe and it is awesome (total pain in the ass to get back intot he case) but it really has saved a lot of time cleaning

yes. bought a mister twister to replace the same B&D Ergo I've been using as long as I can remember...but the B&D just will not die!

I use a Mister Twister saltwater Piranha for big Lake Erie Walleyes. My rapala overheats when cutting through 1 or 2 thick 'eye ribcages. It works fine on perch or crappie though.
