Thread: Bubba Blade Reviews

Any of you tried the Bubba Blade yet. Almost bought one, but would really like to try one out first. Usually use an electric knife on somewhat smaller fish (trout, slot reds, etc) but it can be cumbersome sometimes trying find a power source, etc. Just wanted some reviews on them from some one. Dont mind paying for a good knife, just dont wont to waste money on another one that isnt any better than I have. Thanks

Terry Looney is the only one I know of that has one. He said he loved it and with the handle material "the wetter it gets the stickier it gets" so no slippage

I still like the J&M 5.00 used poultry knives they have for larger fish....and just in my price range too ....I believe a Swiss made knife

I did some research on Bubba Blades. They are made from cheaper steel than other knives in that price range. They seem to be a decent knife, but you will be paying a lot for marketing. Also the teflon coating is a gimmick. My suggestion would be a middle of the road Dexter or Victorinox if you want to invest in a higher end knife. I also use the heck out of the reprocessed black knives from J&M ironman mentioned. They cut just fine and you can afford to break or lose one once in a while!

Just a got a new dexter Russell and love it.

Dexter Russell are tough to beat.

I had a Dexter Russell serrated fillet knife back in the day. that thing was scary sharp. Would slice an AJ into steaks in one good swipe and rip through snapper rib bones like they were not there.

Amen on the Dexter Russell knives, and for smaller Spanish, trout, etc., I'm real fond of my Rapala 6" fillet knife. I don't think I have but four of those J&M reground knives---hard to beat.

I spent $40 on a Knives of Alaska fillet knife, but it must be made for Alaskan fish, or for people who only want a little bitty handle, because I haven't been able to use it. Good steel, but just doesn't fit. Anybody want a good knife, cheap?

Never tried a Bubba Blade, and don't know that I'd want to get a knife that was using such an obvious marketing come-on---selling on a gimmicky name.

Brunson Net has Dexters cheap if you think you want one of those.

I just bought a new dexter fillet knife. After cleaning all of those whiting and croakers during the November chewdown with a cheap knife it was time to upgrade. Now if I only had some fish to fillet with it. Was hoping to clean a bunch of sheepies with it but it hasn't happened yet.
