I second the Rapala. I think mine is a 12 inch model, and it came with the red pull thru sharpener, which I use often. The secret is just to keep it sharp. Keep the sharpener with you, and sharpen often. Bass species (Wipers, Stripers, etc.) seem to really dull the blades. Also, I tried a different sharpener with my Rapala knife one day and it did more harm than good. Buy one with a sharpener that comes with it, and use that sharpener.

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
