A fillet knife doesn’t have to be an expensive purchase in order to make quick work of your day’s catch. There are numerous options on the market from different brands that offer a sharp blade with strong grip that can help you muscle through filleting your catches. Many of these blades can be taken care of and sharpened for a long life. For some anglers, that’s all that’s necessary in a fillet knife.
If you have a high number of fish to fillet, or the fish you catch are massive and take time to dress down and fillet, consider adding some power to your fillet knife. Fillet knives with batteries and electrical cords are available to give you extra power and shorten time at the cleaning table. If you don’t have access to electrical hookup near the fillet table, then a battery powered option is a no-brainer. Choose the right fillet knife for your fishing needs.
