Spiny Waterflea - Alternative Way to Say Good Bye

This is a short video to share an alternative way to get these Waterflea's off your line NOT using the traditional way of smacking the line.
I am retired therefore I am slowly becoming less aggressive than I was as a young buck. This alternative method is calm, cool and doesn't hurt the equipment.
I hope this helps you

That's a terrific tip for removing those darn nuisance fleas !! Thanks Capt Crow 👍👌

[@captcrow]

No problem 👍

[@upice3]

Great tips, micro fibre towels are the best !

[@captcrow]

Thanks for the comment! We deployed a couple of wire divers this season to see how that does with the fleas!

Been searching for a way to get rid of those water fleas this has been the best method I've seen so far sharing this tip👍👍. That was definitely worth subscribing for😊

[@captcrow]

Thank you for the comment. I am glad the tip will make your fishing adventure a better one. Also, thanks for the sub, I appreciate it 👊

Good tip thanks

[@captcrow]

Thanks for watching and commenting. This season we switched to torpedo wire on our divers to help reduce the fleas. It has helped, a lot but we still need a towel.

[@ontariofishingfun9463]

X2 on torpedo wire. I like the wire especially with the mag divers.

Velcro stuck to a paint stick works good as well

[@captcrow]

Thanks for that tip. Is it the hook or loop on velcro that you're using?

[@joshpolihronakis3]

@@captcrow the hook.

Hi Capt Crow, Thanks for the very helpful tip. Those water fleas are the devil!

[@captcrow]

Thanks for the feedback Scott. I appreciate you watching. I am happy to share the verified tip 👍

[@scottgarbs7761]

@@captcrow I'm gonna try some microfleece gloves.....like are used for dusting around the house. Do you think those will work? Thanks Capt Crow!

[@captcrow]

Scott the concept sounds great, could also do a bit of boat house cleaning with the mit! I hope your idea works

[@jasonabays]

Thanks for the video. That is a great tip. What camera do you have mounted to your outboard. I was thinking of doing something similar.

[@captcrow]

Glad it helped, we switched to wire divers this season and although we have less fleas than braid, we still needed to use the rag trick.
I use the insta360 one inch camera. I wouldn't advise a 360 camera unless you are proficient at post editing. There is a lot of work put into getting the shot you want and exported to use in another video editor (premiere Pro).
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment/question. I appreciate it
