considering doing all 10 of my tip ups with this stuff

After using the past 3 or 4 years here is what ill say about it. Its probably better for pike or bass fishing with tipups compared to fishing for lake trout or salmon with tip ups. I say this because it fills a regular tipup spool more than regular line meaning less distance for the fish to run.That being said I have not found that to be an issue tipup fishing with this line for pike or bass Its still going strong and currently have it on 4 of my exclusive pike or bass tipups. Its easy to use and doesnt freeze up bad on the ice after. Regular tipup line freezes and turns into cold sphagetti. I like using both though. If i had to get one i would probably just get regular tipup line but thats just because i would want all the bases covered. If i was exclusively going for pike and bass i would go for the thick vinyl woodstock line. Hope this helps, im off to go do some lake trout fishing from shore. Best Regards, Leland

Yeah you can thats what a bunch of saltwater and shrimp people do instead of buying an RO/DI unit. just be aware thats it only for top offs though because its completely inert. If you water change with it it will change your water chemistry Best Regards, Leland

Thanks for watching and commenting. Ive thought about trying the 7 inch I may have to try it out. They are great senkos! After trying a few competitors this past summer I would still say I would rather have bought the stikos. I know exactly which one your talking about also for 6 inch baitfish color i remember looking at that one. Good to know I think I have a few spots up here that might work pretty well at. Best Regards, Leland

Thanks for watching the vid. Glad to hear your gettting back at it! Too much work and not enough fishing make me a dull boy hahaha! Honestly im pretty impressed with lazer sharp eagle in general for the price. But yes I do still buy gamakatsu for certain things. I like eagle claw also for letting friends and family use fishing rods. Not the end of the world if they snag or whatever. Best Regards, Leland

@@leland_tv717 Thank you Leland and God Bless!

I get an entire season atleast out the batteries and maybe more. Easily a few sessions a month april - nov. I did not disconnect them last season so when i fired it up over the winter they were dead but im thinking if i had just disconnected the batteries they might still have juice left in them. That being said they are easy to turn off and i do keep extra batteries just incase - hope this helps. Best Regards, Leland

@@leland_tv717 wow that’s great! Thank you for your replay and the info, wish you happy fishing.

Thanks for watching! I mix the pineapple jello into the dry mix with the flour,sugar, and cornmeal. It acts as a flavoring and the carp really like pineapple for some reason. You have luck using chickpeas for carp? I have never tried I may have too Best Regards, Leland

@leland_tv717 hi Leland, so , I use tinned chick peas, drain them in a sieve & run cold water over them. They're better if you remove the husk, it's laborious but worth it. Put them in a oven tray & sprinkle over turmeric or paprika, you could use chilli powder, curry powder. Put them in the air frier for 4-5 minutes, or oven. Let them cool off. I use them mainly for carp & barbel, not sure if you know barbel or you may have another name for them in U.S.A. I'll raid my wife's cake mix tub & boilies are being made soon. Take care, best wishes. D.

Hey thanks for watching! Yes they are incase the net or rods drop in the water so they dont sink. Really important to have something even if you think you are careful. Best regards, Leland

I appreciate the input. Thanks for watching! Best Regards, Leland

I was skeptical at first but its actually great line and have since given it a proper review video. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! And yeah it is. Good exercise getting out there. Best, Leland

I dont get up that way much in the spring. Definitely more during ice fishing season unfortunately

@@leland_tv717 i have a couple areas i have acess to that have leeks here in Georgia . i find them in the hard woods where they can get the spring sun before the leaves are out

Hey thanks for watching! Its an ozark trail stadium seat from walmart around $20 Best Regards, Leland

They were coming up in big numbers this past weekend. Lots of people out harvesting them too. Its getting tough finding spots people haven't been to yet. Best Regards, Leland

Thanks for watching! And thanks for sharing your experience with the line to help other people. When I caught that big carp with this line I knew that it was pretty good stuff for the price. They actually just changed the packaging on the zebco omniflex at my local walmart, hoping its still the same stuff! Best Regards, Leland

@@leland_tv717 yes...I was thrown off by the new generic looking red and white new pqckage design vs the fancier yellow and blue. Makes me wonder why they did it? Looks like a bobber or VanHalen's diver down CD cover now. I bought the 20 and 30 pound versions the other day. It sure seems exactly the same quality to me. I put the 20 pound version on my cheap 25 plus year old economy catfish spinning rod. It casted WAY farther than the old style 25 pound version so maybe it's improved. I see they offer another line called the "outcast" with less line on the spool for the same price range at other big box stores. I read it's Re branded Shakesspear or Spurh bend line. If it is ill stay away from that stuff. I've tried both of them from shopko in the 70's and 80's. Extremely brittle and brakes super easy. The onmi cast is tough line and can take a good amount of abrasion before braking. Apparently Omniflex is not offered anymore is being replaced by the outcast line. I called zebco to confirm. It's also less yardage per spool. Hopefully it's the same line rebranded....again.

@@tripplebeards3427 Great info I really appreciate it. Haha I agree I liked the old label a lot better on it. Maybe to keep the price low they had to change the graphic or something? If you ever cant find the Omniflex or wanna try something just as good I recommend its close cousin Cajun Red. The Zebco Cajun Red line is also some really tough stuff, review coming. Best Regards, Leland

@@leland_tv717 I just liked it becuase it was $2.50 for a giant spool...and it was good stuff. Hopefully the re branded "outcast" line that replaced the Omniflex is the same line. It's about 50 yards less per spool and buck more.

Zebco called me back this afternoon and told me the Outcast is a different line. It replaced the Omniflex. I was told it “should”be a littler higher quality line then the Omniflex

Thanks for watching

yeah the gulls were confused, thanks for watching

They were biting wherever I was atleast😆 Best Regards, Leland

@@leland_tv717 yeah thats a great spot and so is the ferry landing in grand iale in the fall

Thanks for watching me catch this wonderful beautiful fish. I appreciate it! Best Regards, Leland

Thanks for watching and I appreciate it! It is the Kobalt Steel Heavy Duty 3-Tier Utility Shelving Unit for around $179 at lowes. No issues so far and I thought the price was decent for what I was getting. Has really nice leveling feet was the deal breaker for me. Best Regards, Leland

Haha yeah just incase giving a few warnings. Thanks for watching! Best Regards, Leland

Thanks for sharing your experience with Zebco Omniflex! I ended up making another video after this one after I caught a massive carp and didnt break the line. Its really tough stuff for the price. Is the reason you change the line out 4x/year because you fish alot or do you feel like the line tends to get curly as it ages? I noticed ice fishing it does tend to curl on me a little bit. Not enough to be a problem for the price but its present. Actually at my local walmart they just changed the graphics on the label of Zebco Omniflex to something a little different. Have you noticed this also? Best Regards, Leland

Wow thats a smoking deal! They are easily worth the $40-50 full price. I have two and no issues whatsoever. Best Regards, Leland

Same! I snagged up two of them for 24$ a piece on Walmart clearance today.
