I'm decided, the knife I have is a 6 inch rapala, I'm going to buy a 7.5 in. fish n fillet kit for bigger fish and use the 6 in. for panfish. I think this setup will work fine for me since I am very new to filleting. Thanks everybody!

Would a regular kitchen knife rod work for honing?
-
Does the little red sharpener that comes with the cheaper rapala knives work? For casual filleting, not huge 100 fish fish fries
-
Im thinking I'm gonna stick with the knife I've got and sharpen it often, I don't eat enough fish to justify buying a 40 or 50 dollar knife. Thanks for the advice everybody

Last year I had a terrible time trying to fillet fish. I was using a cheap 15$ knife(rapala I think) and I never sharpened it since I knew nothing about filleting. This year I plan on keeping many crappie, sunfish and pike so I need to get better. Would it be best to buy a better knife or will this knife serve me fine as long as I sharpen it often? What are some good knife sharpeners? Thanks

I'd rather use a traditional knife so I can use it in the Boundary waters, and so I don't waste any meat on small panfish. I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the "Knives of Alaska" Steelhead knife

I've been using the cheap 15$ rapala knife for a couple years and am ready to step it up because I plan on keeping many more fish this year. It will be mainly be used for crappie, sunfish, and pike. What is the best knife for under 50$?

Yeah, gotta love the diversity we have....that is once the ice melts of course. I'm a kayak angler with two rods. One casting and one spinning. Im planning on trying flukes and lipless cranks for the first time this year. I think I will go out with only jigs at least once to gain some confidence in them.......well maybe I'll have a frog or two in my pocket

I see a lot of people on these forums from Florida,Texas,California, and many southern states. Unfortunately I see little talk of northern tactics and teqniques. Specifically for Minnesota lakes, lakes filled with pads and weeds. What sort of teqnioches do those of you who live in this frozen hell use? I plan on using mostly wacky worms, jigs, and spinnerbaits this year. Jerk baits early in the season. What else would you suggest? Thanks!

Minnesota if you're up for the cold/ icefishing in the winter. Not the biggest bass here but you're never more than 5 minutes from a lake!

Lake Minnetonka!

Always a spinnerbait, I choose the type of blades and color based on the conditions. i always want to start with a reaction style bait and then if that doesn't work I'll switch to a more subtle presentation such as a wacky worm or jig

I purchased the rods online, the casting hasnt come yet. I contacted their customer service and they had emailed me the forms within a few hours. Very nice to feel like a big company like that cares. I'd shop there more often but a Cabelas is just as close.

I recently purchased a couple *** black rods from gander mountain. They had a rebate where if you buy 100$ worth of rod, you get a 20$ gift card. The offer expired on 3/19, i bought the rods a couple days before this meaning I am eligible(rebate must be postmarked by April something). Unfortunately since the offer expired 3/19 i cant find the rebate on their website. Anyone know how to access it so I can print it? Thanks!

I managed to get the backing on with minimal memory, it was better after I'd gotten a decent amount of line on. Now Im soaking the fluoro for a few hours before I spool it.
