What is your Guarantee and Warranty?
Our Guarantee is this: You buy our Fillet King Products and fillet a bucket of pan fish and if you do not find it to be the best filleting system you have ever used we will return your money AND buy you any comparable fillet board on the market that you find does a better job of controlling the fish and the mess.
Our Warranty is this: We will replace any defective product with a new product if you send the defective product to us. The replacement product will be shipped at our expense. We do this for three years after purchase.
We do not cover warping in excessively hot dishwashers as the warping of the grate or tray does not affect the utility of the product. We do not cover boards cracked or broken from misuse like stepping on it or throwing it around while ice fishing
THIS IS THE BEST GUARANTEE IN THE FISHING INDUSTRY. WOULD IT NOT BE AMAZING IF THE POLES, REELS, LURES, AND BAIT YOU BUY HAD THIS TYPE OF GUARANTEE?
What is a Modular Filleting System?
The modular approach allows you to build your system to your specific filleting and cutting needs. Each board can be joined to another board in a variety of configurations to fit your exact purpose of the moment. Multiple boards can be carried in a convenient carry case and stored in a small area when not in use.
Accessories attach to the board(s) in any area you choose or may be used as standalone units. This versatility is unique to Fillet King® Products.
What holds the fish to the board?
The patented grate contains squares that each has sharp edges that provide the grip on the fish. These catch on the scales of the fish to keep it securely in place with very little hand pressure. Even with fish that have been scaled or fish with no scales the 1400 sharp edges grip the fish and keep it from moving during the filleting process. A no slip surface is the safest way to fillet a fish and this is what the grate provides. The physics involved is gravity pulling the fish downward and friction of the sharp edges of the squares digging into the scales or skin (if scaled) keeping the fish under absolute control at all times. Slight finger pressure increases these factors tremendously while filleting. Thus the first fish of the day and the last fish of the day maintain the same gripping surface through the entire filleting process.
What makes the product "no mess"?
The product is of two piece construction consisting of the grate and the base. The grate allows the mess to fall through to the base that contains the mess so the board surface remains the same from the first fish to the last without the need to stop to clean the grate surface. The base will hold the slime and mess from over 100 fish before it needs to be emptied so there is no having to stop to clean the board or the area during the entire filleting process.
What about cleaning the product after use?
The grate and base separate for easy cleaning by passing under water from a hose or faucet or simply swishing in the lake or stream. The product can also be further cleaned by use of a dishwasher (top element) to sanitize the unit. The top element of the dishwasher is recommended to prevent warping of the grate. The material is high impact polystyrene and does not hold an odor so the product is perfectly acceptable for kitchen duties between fishing uses. If you forget or are unable to clean it immediately after use, you may soak it in a bucket of warm water with detergent to loosen the residue. We offer a brush as an accessory for stubborn material but any type brush will easily remove any residue. Our instructions say to wash it immediately after use.
Is the board secure on any surface?
Each board comes with 4 bumper pads that you attach to the four corners of the base bottom when you first use the product. These will hold the board to most any surface including a wet surface to secure the board for filleting or cutting uses. The bumpers are a standard household item found in any hardware or department store and are very inexpensive to replace should one comes loose oor lost over time. Any size will do the job but be sure you replace them all with the same size especially if part of a modular system (two or more boards joined). Uneven bumpers will cause the joiners to not fit perfectly and the boards to teeter slightly.
Will the board yellow with age?
Ultraviolet rays will yellow the boards over time if left in direct sunlight. We suggest the product be placed in its carry bag when not in use to prolong the bright white color of the original product.
Will the product hurt my fillet knife?
The product is made of a high impact polystyrene material that has a much harder surface than a standard plastic kitchen type board. The edge of a fillet knife will not leave cut marks on the grate under normal use and thus maintain the "edge" to the knife. The joiner system is made of aluminum and sits either flush or slightly below the board surface so as to not affect the "edge" on the fillet knife. Over time the grate may become nicked but that does not affect the purpose of the grate and, in fact, increases the gripping power of the grate.
How do joiners work?
Each patented joiner is handmade to sit between the edges of two boards and the holes sit on the shoulders of the base deck. This makes a seamless surface between the two boards so that mess stays within the base and not off the board surface. There is horizontal play with the joiners to allow a fit that sits flush or slightly below the grate surface.
Does the carry case really complete the system?
The carry case is made of 200 Denier Nylon and is urethane coated to be water resistant. It provides ultraviolet protection of the product while also acting as a caddy for fillet knives, accessories, and sharpening stones. It also is perfect for gift presentation or for promotional message or logo identification use.
What about the kitchen use of the product?
We market the product to the kitchen market in selected markets as "Kitchen Corral" because of the kitchen uses. It controls the mess and grips the food item just as it does when filleting fish. In the kitchen the uses are more than we can list here and we get a kick out all the uses in the kitchen we are told about from our customers ---men and women. All we can tell you is that having a kitchen board that contains the mess is one more barrier between the counter top and the floor regardless of what kitchen use is being applied.
