Sawzall Fillet Blades

might be a little rough on trout

what was on that dog's head? a scale?

says $32

Perfect for reds and sheepshead though

It's not. We have a hoss at the camp and you can fly through a limit of reds or snapper like you could with trout with a regular electric knife. More time for drinking beer

Works great on tripletail too.

you can buy the ridgid tool (R3031)




for $99 new

or $61 refurbished


and then buy the blades in the original post to save some coin

Its definitely worth it for cleaning reds, drum, sheephead, and snapper. These types of fish with hard scales will burn up an electric knife. Simply cant hold up to the wear and tear from cleaning these fish. These are great tasting fish that can be a pain to clean (Especially if cleaning more than a handful).

I would never buy the "Hoss" at the price point they are selling it at. However you could purchase a sawzall on the cheap (pawn, craigslist, harbor freight) + these blades you could be under $75. That's worth it to me when your back at the dock cleaning fish in the afternoon and are trying to make it back home at a reasonable time. You can clean a limit of reds in under 10 min. with this set up.

What if a small one like the ridgid pictures above? It seems like using a regular sawzall would be a pain in the arse. Does anyone make one similar to the ridgid?

I would definitely see that being nice if they have a small battery operated saw. Using a corded knife on bigger fish can be a pain.
