The unit is designed to be used for up to 50 pan fish (fish about 12-14 inches in size). **Q: Have they improved the durability of the shaft area? Specifically where the shaft connects to the motor. That’s a common complaint with this unit.** A: After a little over 5000 fish I have not had a problem **Q: Can you just put filets in instead of whole fish** A: No, you will have to put the whole fish in there.. I think it would eat up the meat, This is really for pan fish that you don't want to filet. hope this wil help you **Q: Do you de-gut/clean-out fish B4 or after using fish tumbler/de-scaler ?** A: After. With cleaning fish, you basically work from the inside out. Plus you want your fish whole as it's tumbling to avoid shredding as it tumbles. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does an excellent job on crappie *by L***R on February 17, 2024* I have used it many times and have never had any problems. All I have to do is cut the heads off and take the guts out afterwards It only takes about 12 minutes to do a full batch of about 20 to 25 fish. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great if you use it right. *by J***. on January 31, 2016* After limiting out on Perch for 2 days during an ice fishing trip and my love of skin-on fillets, I knew I needed something to make this easier. This is a game changer and made easy work of 100 9"-14" perch. I got a rhythm going where I was filleting a batch from the tumbler while a new batch was tumbling.Few things to note:1. It can fit 50 fish but don't - its more effective if you don't load it all way. Use your best judgement based on what kind of fish you have.2. When loading it up, try to put fish of the same size class in each batch. I did mine in batches of 10-12 fish (12 9", 10 10", 10, 11", etc). This will make scaling more uniform and consistent.3. It does leave a few sales behind but not many. Those that are still left on the fish are loose enough after tumbling that you can use the back of your knife to brush them off.4. Change the water regularly. If its easy, do it after every batch but I did it after every 2 batches since I wasn't near a water source.I do wish it had some kind of hose attachment and a drain, it would make the drain and refill process easier but I think I might add something myself later. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It Works as Advertised!! *by K***D on March 16, 2021* I’ve used a homemade tumbler scaler for years. It required one to turn the tumbler by a handle. It wasn’t hard but it took time. It was still better than scaling them by hand. It’s done its job and has went to tumbler heaven. One time not having it to clean the fish was enough for me to start looking for a replacement.This unit was about the only thing that I could find so I purchased one. I used it for the first time yesterday. I added 30 crappie to the tumbler and turned it on. Right away I knew that I would love having a motor on it. I left it on for 20 minutes while I gathered up everything for the remaining job. It worked great but 20 minutes was too long. The fish had some damage but nothing that caused an issue. I just need to check on them sooner next time.As of now I’m happy with this unit. My only unknown is whether it will hold up over time.Take care and be safe. Life is good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Open Country TD-6065-13, Tumble Drumm Sportsman Automatic Fish Scaler, Stainless Steel - 4 Pieces Stainless Steel Fish Scale Remover Cleaner Kitchen Fish Scaler Fish Skin Graters Cleaning Peeler Scaler Scraper with Bottle Opener for Kitchen Fish Cleaning Tools - ADORAMBLING Fish Scaler Stainless Steel Fish Scaler Remover No Mess - Sturdy Fish Scale Remover Portable Fish Descaler Tool- Reliable Fish Cleaner Fish Scraper for Quick & Easy Fish Scaling Cleaning --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12690712-open-country-td-6065-13-tumble-drumm-sportsman-automatic-fish](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/12690712-open-country-td-6065-13-tumble-drumm-sportsman-automatic-fish) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
