Anyone not enjoying their bubba blade? I got one for christmas and have been using it more lately. The ergonomics of it seem off and they make it hard to hold the trigger down. Think I am switching back to the cheaper electric models.

I use the hell out of it. Put a mister twister blade on it for much improvement. I admit though I wanted to give up on it like you. After using it more I am much better with it and have no waste and can clean through fish very fast.

I agree the ergonomics could be better. But I can go through a cooler of snapper or blue cats twice as fast. However, I prefer my white handled filet knives for specs and sacalait.

I like the Rapala Blades for Reds and the Mister Twister for Specks (Both fit.) Yes, ergonomics could be better.

Like others said I use the mister twister blade for bass and brim. I have no issues with mine.

I have the cordless first version and don’t like mine.

The heavy duty rapala ( A/C power) is my go to. Beats everything else I have tried.

I have one but haven’t even tried it yet.

It was a birthday present from a good friend.

Mine came with 3 different blade sets.

The old timer cordless is hard to beat. I picked one up on Amazon for 35-40 bucks and haven’t used Bubba since. I do ise bunba for larger reds and sheepshead.

I was fixing to order one but Amazon had the cordless old timer regular $99 on sale for $36 so I went with it instead.

I agree. And I don’t filet thst well w it. The little skinny blades flex too much and the big thick ones don’t flex at all. My hand cramps and the trigger is in an odd place

I use it though, that is how much I hate cords. And the battery life is great.
