Sassy Sharon Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Fleas Talk about fleas, I ran into them today and had a heck of a time getting them off my line. Is there a easy way to remove them. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
village Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Best way is to smack the line across top of water. Than what's left make a half loup in line and pinch the rest off. Sent from my N9519 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassy Sharon Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I like that idea, great sense of humor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan agnello Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Not a joke; Cortland sells and oval diameter line that fleas cannot attach to. Used it for years up in Manistee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sassy Sharon Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 That's to bad because I'd change all my reels over to it if it ment I could get rid of those Darn Fleas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

village Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 http://www.acecharters.com/fishing/waterfleas/Not sure like there answer we run 18-20 pound test on the down rigger rods Sent from my N9519 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgafish Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 That is exactly why I run 30lb big game. My riggers are almost always one of my more active setups so I don't think the larger line has any ill effects on bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Sharon Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'm running 20lbs. test. We went out 7/03 and it was terrible, then we went back out the 4th and the Fleas weren't to bad but the Flys tore us apart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Hook Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Bloodrun also makes a flea free line. Fleas seem to cling to it more than the Cortland Flea Flicker I've used in the past, but they come off the line easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reel-Deal Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I run 25# on all my reels and rarely have an issue with fleas Sent from my SM-G950U using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
