Rapala R12 Heavy-Duty Lithium Fillet Knife

June 7, 2021 by Steven T Leave a Comment

One of Rapala’s newest products dropped is the Rapala R12 Heavy-Duty Lithium Fillet Knife. With a steep price of $179.29, this may be the solution for those searching for the ultimate filleting tool. Some features they advertise on their page include:

  • 80 minutes of continuous runtime
  • Twice the speed and three times the torque of standard fillet knives
  • LED light for filleting in low light conditions
  • On-board LED power gauge to monitor battery status
  • Two PTFE coated blades 6″ and 7-1/2″
  • Two R12 2 Ah Lithium ION battery packs
  • Rapid charging base; battery charge time of 1 hour
  • EVA storage case
  • Two-year warranty

It comes with a case as well as a charger for the rechargeable batteries.

The Bubba Lithium-Ion Cordless Electric Fillet Knife is sold on Amazon for a much cheaper $120. It comes with a variety of blades and the reviews boast a long battery life as well. It also comes with a charger and a case to bring with you out on the water.

So the Bubba is cheaper and offers a higher variety of blades, but the Rapala knife claims to have 2x the speed and 3x the torque of any other electric filleting knife on the market.

I am really considering getting the Rapala R12 Heavy-Duty Lithium Fillet Knife. What would you guys choose? Let us know in the comments!
