pretty good knife

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Nice!

This is my third Rapala Fillet knife. The others ones were lost or given away.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

The rapala is a good knife easy to keep shape being so thin. I lost mine somewhere but I still have the sheath.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

or maybe I broke opening mussel shells

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

It came with a separate sharpener. I thought it used to be in the sheath?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I don't remember a sharpener. I probably bought mine 40 years ago.Did they have sharpeners in those days.:ha::ha:

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

The ones they sold 35 years ago did. I'm a little bummed but also stoked that i didn't have to buy some made in china nonsense. These are made in Finland and every knife is hand signed!

The Buck brand is now made in China too, bummer because I was going to buy one until I found out.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

And Buck started up right here in San Diego

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

The best fillet knife is the one that works for you. When I worked in a fish market, each of us had a set of 4-5 different knives we used depending on the kind of fish were were filleting. Long-thin blades for things like halibut, butchers' knives for swordfish, etc. And don't forget a good heavy cleaver for getting through bones of big fish.

Here's a cheap knife that we used a lot. Cheap enough to ruin on mussel shells and not be worried about it. :ha:

Great link for a cheapo knife Mark! I'll have a look at their other stuff too.

Speaking of GW's, I was watching a video about a Hobie peddle powered yaks showing the flippers on the bottom. All I could think was how it might be attractive to GW's and other big predators. I'll try to find the video.

I'll be slinging this new Kroc tomorrow! :)

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Nice you get long cast with that one.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Especially with 15# Power Pro. Hoping for some off shore wind like we had this morning!

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

My spot for tomorrow!

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Yep, that's the one I use. Has the same diameter as 4# mono! This stuff really casts great. Now they have a new slicker and less noisy braid now but my PP is still good so I'm not going to spend the money on it just yet.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Isn't the braid abrasive or have they fixed that ?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

It is still abrasive so they made better guides for the rods. The older style would get grooves from using it. My Power Pro has gotten much softer with use but still makes noise coming off the spool and going through the guides. The new braid they make is supposed to be quieter and better casting. I forget the name of it, same brand though.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Nice place, do they trim that sand somehow?
