They are awesome! I used my brothers when we went to reelfoot lake last year on a crappie trip. I was a real "newb" to filleting fish, and I had probably 30-40 fish filleted in about 30-45 minutes or so. I'm planning on getting my own soon as I get a chance. The one he has is the Rapala outfit....which is very nice. Has a 6inch and 7 inch blade, You can use a regular plug-in, off a deep cycle battery or a 12v car power outlet. When I get one, I'm thinking about trying the browning setup, as its a little bit cheaper than the Rapala...and comes with pretty much everything the Rapala has.
