Gen 2 Electric Fillet Knife Lede

Bubba has introduced its Bubba Pro Series Gen 2 Electric Fillet Knife. Built from extensive feedback gathered from those who spend their time on the water, the Pro Series Gen 2 delivers enhanced ergonomics, greater control, improved cutting performance and expanded versatility than the original.

That same original earned ICAST's Best Cutlery, Hand Pliers and Tools award in 2021. The new one, however, offers the following upgrades:

  • A 20-percent slimmer handle design for improved control and reduced fatigue
  • Proprietary paddle trigger system allows operation with one or two fingers
  • Brushless motor technology delivers increased speed and torque, as well as reduced vibration and operating noise compared to previous designs, while maintaining good runtimes and both salt and freshwater resilience
  • E-Glide blades feature a specialized tooth profile ideal for panfish and delicate species; updated blade assortment delivers more options for different fish sizes and application

"Our commitment is simple—we're relentless in our pursuit of building better products," said James Tayon, chief product officer at American Outdoor Brands. "We obsessively study customer reviews, user-generated content, and direct consumer feedback, and we listen carefully to anglers who rely on our products for everything from weekend fishing trips to captains who make their living on the water. But innovation doesn't stop there. Our product and marketing teams are made up of passionate anglers who constantly challenge themselves to push performance further, leveraging the latest advances in electronics and motor technology to continually raise the standard for powered fishing tools and the Bubba brand. The Bubba Pro Series Gen 2 Electric Fillet Knife builds on an award-winning foundation with next-generation motor technology, enhanced ergonomics, a new paddle trigger system, and an all-new four-blade lineup that delivers greater comfort, control, confidence, and versatility across a wider range of species and filleting applications. That's the standard we hold ourselves to across every Bubba product we create."
