Get a dexter. Cheeper and better then a bubba. You can fillet a red in one slice. As well as snapper or sheepshead. Great all around fillet knives.

I have found that the Mister Twister Saltwater Piranha w/11" blade works well filleting redfish and the like!

Get a Dexter-Russell http://www.dexter-russell.com/Item_D...id=476&line=SG , our local Hardware store carries them, They about $20-30. Keeps an edge and easy to sharpen. My wifes uncle is retired and fishes catfish for extra money and to pass his time and its all he uses. He doesn't skin his catfish either, he filets everything.

Works really good, the first cut is what seems to dull my knives and this works well. You eliminate cutting thru the tough scales. Or just get a Dexter and don't worry bout it

That's how I do it w/ reds, drum and sheepies. Extends the life of the knife. I use a Hamilton Beach.

What type of sharpner or what works best to keep ur dexter knife sharp?

jchief 11-05-2012 08:19 PM

Dexter makes a sharpener. Don't know if or how well it works though.

SULPHITE 11-05-2012 08:20 PM

Looking to pick up a dexter or comparable knife at academy for reds and want to pick up a sharpener too

Agree. I been using hamilton beach now for 2 years and work awesome. I got 4 of them- cut like butter. I got several mister twister and motors seem to be getting weaker and weaker. Opened one out of package last week and motor kept bogging down- switched to hamilton beach and worked great.

Well what I do is throw all the redfish back. Has really really prolonged the life of my electric knife. Only clean flounder and trout now. Better eating fish than reds anyway.
