Overview

A 6-inch stainless steel fillet knife from Rapala, a brand built around fish fillet blades, weighing 2.4 ounces as a single knife.

Rapala has built its reputation specifically on fillet knives, and the 126SP is a lightweight single-blade model sized for cleaning smaller to mid-size fish rather than large game fish that need a longer blade. At 2.4 ounces it barely adds weight to a tackle bag.

  • 2.4 ounce weight
  • Single fillet knife
  • Rapala 126SP model

Who it's for

Fits anglers who clean their own catch and want a dedicated 6-inch fillet blade rather than a multi-purpose knife. Anglers regularly working larger fish may want a longer blade instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Lightweight at 2.4 ounces for tackle bag carry
  • Stainless steel resists corrosion near water
  • 6-inch blade suited to smaller to mid-size fish
Cons
  • Blade length may be short for larger fish

Performance notes

A 6-inch stainless blade is sized for control on panfish, trout and similar catch, where a shorter blade makes it easier to work close to the bone without over-flexing. Stainless steel resists the corrosion that fillet knives are routinely exposed to around water and fish oils.
