| There are times when you’d like to enjoy a meal out of your catch. Maybe you’ve caught a bunch of crappies, a few walleye, a perch, or some channel catfish. Whatever you enjoy, there’s just something satisfying about cooking up the catch that you personally caught. However, before you pull out your grandpa’s favorite fish batter recipe, there’s just this one little step that you’ll need to take care of. Yep, you guessed right, someone (probably you!) needs to clean those fish before they hit the hot pan of oil. The story about the Rapala® fishing lure stretches back to 1936 when Lauri Rapala carved his first Rapala lure in northern Finland. We can guarantee you that he wasn’t thinking about posting Facebook selfies of himself holding up a stringer of fish back then. Actually, he was thinking about feeding his growing family. Like the Original Floating® Rapala, the folks at Rapala VMC®, in keeping with the spirit of Lauri Rapala, realized a long time ago that you don’t want to disrespect your time or the fish you’ve caught by wasting any of it. So Rapala teamed up with famed Finnish knife maker Marttiini to create a line of Rapala fillet knives for hungry anglers like you. The first Rapala fillet knife was the Fish ‘N Fillet® Knive – introduced to America back in the 1960s. It is still one of the best-selling fillet knives in the world and it’s the perfect knife for someone new to fishing. In the years since, Rapala VMC® and Marttiini® have introduced a number of other knives featuring different types of handle designs, different types of handle materials, and knife blades forged with different types of metals to meet the demanding needs of anglers everywhere, from those who want a knife that’s perfect for filleting small fish, such as crappie, to those who need a knife with some muscle for filleting up larger table fare. Regardless of what you’re going to fry or bake, there is no fillet knife that has been designed as well for anglers as the Rapala® fillet knife. Its super-sharp blade will keep the mess to a minimum, shave your filleting time, and ensure that you get as much meat from every fillet as possible.

P.S.S. Take your Dad fishing. You do the filleting. Happy Dad. P.S.S.S. The Rapala® Fillet Glove is really handy, too, and help to keep your hand safe while filleting. |
