flyman013 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I hear you guys talking about sea fleas on your lines. What exactly are sea fleas?? Is it that green slime crud that accumulates on your lines or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tltorrice Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 There is a product called Flea Flicker Line you can spool up on your mono rods that will keep them off. I used it last year on Lake Ontario and it worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a slow day! LOL Just Kidding.....I know how fast those can accumulate. I have never run Cortlands Flea Flicker, but I have heard it does the job. We have been running 25lb McCoy Mean Green for 6 years now and it does a real nice job at keeping the fleas off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 When fishing yesterday we have found a pretty easy way to get them off. Just group the fleas together on the line and make a loop (with the fleas at the bottom) with the line then hold the fleas with your hand and pull both sides of the loop and almost all the fleas come right off. Worked like a charm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCollarOutdoors Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Are these things more dominant in certain areas of the lake,because im my area I have never heard any discussion about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shu9265 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Here is their pic, a real pain when they get this bad but they dealt with it real well and won some nice bucks in a big tourney: That's how some of our lines were yesterday out of Olcott. Found it easier to cut the swivel off and just slide them off the line and then re tie. Gonna have to look into that line from Cortland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
