I've used 20 lb omniflex catfishing for years and it's just as good as any other. It's the way of the world to deceive someone into thinking any different. 48 lb flathead on this 20 lb test line
Hell ya that must have been awesome! And yeah unfortunately thats the way it seems. Its pretty amazing how good omniflex is for the price. Thanks for the comment and sharing your experience. Best Regards, Leland
I had this line (12lbs) on a bait caster, motor trolling. Checked the rod. It was spooled! But still tied to the real. Line stretched way out, rod bent in half. I shut the motor off and reeled in a 32" Crevalle Jack, a very powerful fish. The line held fine. Tough stuff.
I have fished bass tournaments for many years with this line. This has never, ever failed me and I think 2 to 3 fish in that time broke this line. I use 6 and 8lb on all my spinning reels and 12lb on my bait casters. This is a great product and underestimated. Great video.
I use Zebco line. I have the reels, rods, The biggest reel is a Zebco 888 on down to a 202 and one 33.I use there line of stuff because it works. I`m 72 .
Great to know! I appreciate the accumulated info from a seasoned angler like yourself! I am giving this line another try. I actually just bought a zebco 404 and put the 10lb omniflex in it, much better than what originally came on the spool. Very excited to try bullhead fishing with it. Tight lines!
I have never had a problem with Zebco omnifex from 4lbs to 30lbs like. I will stay with cheeper stuff it just works great for me. Just got 4 spools in 8 lbs, 10 lbs, 12 lbs and 20 lbs for trout, bass, catfish, carp, change out line 4 time's a year is not cheep on every reel.
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
@@Yelladog78 Good to know! I likely will get the 50lb omni for tipup pike leader material next winter. Its too good of a price to pass up experimenting with
I have try this line out and it does hold fish very well. When you use good old brand names that are proven you focus more on your skill landing fish than just horsing them in. I'm sure you can relate if you compare a fancy plastic like Keitech or Basstrix to a Leland to catch lets say crappie, I'll go Leland 100%.
Thanks for responding I really appreciate it! I tested it it for a few months catching bullhead and carp. Pleasantly surprised it held up well. Even caught my PB with it, check my latest video
my opinions is that any line will do fine if you have just straight mono, but for leaders you want a soft mono that braid will cut into easier, ive tied fg knots with this and it works just fine, but a pr doesnt grap and just slips. for the pr knot you need a softer mono.
Used this for yrs for what I do it's an awesome line have caught big flatties on 20 lb 71 pounds is my biggest and have used all the sizes except the 50lb no need for it never has let me down so I'll keep using this I can buy 10 spools of Omni flex and spool up all my reels and use it for 2-3 seasons spend 30$ on the 10 spools while others spend that much or more on 1 spool of there favorite lines I fish about 250-300 days a year this line is great
I've big Reds and Cobia up to #55 using it was a leader without an ounce of problems. I was curious more than anything and now I have no reason to pay big prices for my leaders unless I step up my game on what I'm after.
Thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing your beneficial experience with it. Yeah at $3-4 its really hard for anything else to compete with it. The only other lines that I know that come close are Big Game and its brother Cajun Red. If you were stepping up your "game" what kind of line might you go with? Best Regards, Leland
The technology for monofilament line is very old and well-established. They'd have to go through trouble to deviate from standard production processes and raw materials in order to create subpar fishing line, meaning they'd incur greater costs to produce a lower quality product, and I just don't see any company doing that. They'd just stick to making standard, old-fashioned monofilament.
@@leland_tv717 How old is monofilament? Google says it was invented in 1937. I'm 60 and have been using mono my entire life. My father's and uncles' old fishing gear all had mono on the reels.
I’ve bought a lot of it in every poundage. I caught at 23 pound freshwater Drum on the 8 pound version! Several catfish up to 10 pounds. Caught a 8 pound northern pike on the 4 pound version. I also use the 20, 25, 30, and 50 pound versions for leader material. I DO replace my line every three months or so to keep it fresh. It’s not my goto line by any means but just goes on my cheap panfish and heavier versions go on my economy catfish rods. I have WAY too many rods so I don’t line them all with braid. The Berkeley big game 20 and 30 pound braid is awesome.
Let me just say that I had 8lb test omniflex as a 16" leader holding a dough hook. And landed a 12 lb, 26inch channel catfish from 60ft away on the bank.
Thanks for watching/responding. That must have been thrilling! I really like the 10lb and additionally its great to be building up information on the success of this line. I really appreciate it!
i use this stuff all the time on just my spincast and spinning reel outfit for ul and medium bass rigs iv tried it on my baitcasters it don't work so well on a count the line can be a bit to stiff and causes a lot of back lashes and a lot of line twist unless you spray reel magic on the line then it will preform better on bait casters and spinning reels better other then that i have no complaints about the line iv used this in the 8ib to 4lb to 10lb tests and landed some good size bass and trout and panfish with it well thats my opinion on using this line i like the 4ib test the best for ul fishing and the 8lb test the best for bass fishing finesse fishing with lighter rigs like whacky rigs inline spinner Beatle spins ned rig top water lures and plan bait fishing it ok line for what it is the only issues i don't like about this line is they don't have any low vis or high vis color options
Thanks for the response! I absolutely agree and enjoy hearing about your personal experience with it. Ya if they had high vis or low vis options it would be unstoppable. I also really want to try its brother/sister zebco cajun red. I ended up catching a pretty good size carp 8lb+ with the 10lb omniflex and it handled extremely well. I have omniflex in 6,8,10,12,15, and 50lb tests now lol. Probably soon to have the 4lb test. Best Regards, Leland
I never lost a fish do to this line, I lost fish because the hook came off… in fishing you can pretty much go cheap on everything except the hooks but you can also file them sharper it’s just up to you if you want name brand
I use the 15 for all around fishing… I have caught bass up to 3 pounds and lots of catfish… I retie a lot but it never has gave me a problem even when it was my fault the line was supposed to snap…
it's good to use 6lb *8lb 10lb around your local lakes * pounds rule of thumb is just use your reels compasitity for what your reels recommendations just soak your line in luke warm water for a few hours or overnight to take out the memory coming off your spool of fishing line on to you reels diameter
This and Berkeley trilene XL are the best lines made- I think trilene XL feels a bit more supple which is good for baitcasters. But for spinning rods having a cheap and reliable bulk spool of line is fantastic after spending a day fishing wood and brush.
Seems to be the nature of the hobby. I use zebco omniflex all the time now after catching some big stuff with it. Is the spectra braid PowerPro? I use that stuff and I really like it. Its my go-to for a really nice braid. Thanks for watching and commenting,. Best Regards, Leland
brother that zebco line is not only good for backing but also a main line i use it and have not had a problem its those guys that really don't havea clue about drags i also use floro i don' use braid and have not lost a step but you can be drawn into that expensive line thinking it will help you catch bigger fish keep spending and dreaming
I appreciate the response! I was so skeptical at first and after using it for a few weeks now I absolutely love it. Its a fishing gift to all of us lol. I definitely will be updating how I feel about it. Im glad im not the only one who thinks there is a fishing line conspiracy happening making us believe we gotta spend $$! Best regards, Leland
I use the 20lb and 40lb zebco omniflex and cajunline. I catch 70-80lb black drum on it with no problem. The 20lb stuff catches 30 40 pound fish with no problems. I run the 20lb with the 40lb as a leader. And i use wire leader with the 40lb for my salt water rigs as its large fish and sharks im catching. Ive used zebco lines all the way to 80lb test. And Ive never had a real issue with it ever. Just replace your spool every couple years. Or ill pull 30 or 40 yards off until its at fresh line.
Thanks for watching! It is incredibly good line for the price. I really appreciate you sharing your experience with it. Those are very heavy fish and it is really good to know that it consistently works for you. Im sure people might shy away from it because of the price being "too good to be true" for saltwater applications. Since making this video I have discovered personally how great the line is and this video/comments serve a purpose to anybody watching to not shy away from it. The line speaks for itself and is tried and true. I also really like the cajun red and trilene big game. Do you have any other lines you trust? Best Regards, Leland
@@leland_tv717 the omniflex and cajun lines have me covered. Ive used braid before but dont see the need for the cost unless your trying to fit more line on a spool for some reason. I used spider wire which would sometimes get tangled on itself while using a 2 drop rig wire leader sometimes. If it aint broke dont fix it. If i can buy 40lb line once every couple years imma do that. Just keep it out of the sun while not in use.
I literally just used it about an hour ago. It’s not bad just gotta dial the reel in. I like it. I’d say it’s an awesome alternative to the other line that you may like better. But it for sure worked well for me on a bait caster!
The Omni in 4lb seems like its great line like the others. I actually went the Zebco Cajun Red for my 4lb test and its good stuff. Thin but definitely a little stronger than 4lb. Best Regards, Leland
Would be better to provide evidence or something more solid than what you sort of think. I have pulled in 80 lb amberjack on 50 omniflex used as leader material. A little stiffer than premium moni brands but generally that is what you want.
Thanks for commenting. I agree it would be better but im glad the video provoked enough thought and comments to gain serious information about it. I have a recent video I made using the 10lb omniflex and caught a 8lb+ carp with it. Fully trust it now and have lines in 6,8,10,12,15, 50. Its not perfect but its very good line for $3 Thanks for sharing your experience with it! More videos to come on it, stay tuned. Best Regards, Leland
@@leland_tv717 So you found out the fishing line conspiracy is true lol. Ive used just cheap zebco line for nearly 30 years of fishing. Its cheap and reliable. Cost almost nothing to respool every couple of years. I do like their 40lb cajunline. Thats only because my walmart stopped stocking the omniflex over 20lbs at my store. They use to go to 80lbs.
My experience with this line has been weird.... I have snelled up hooks with the 30 pound and I was running the snell through my fingers a few times.. not very many. It just kinda creates a little heat and straightens the mono. It just snapped! I was like what the heck maybe that was a fluke or I did something else that I just never noticed but I managed to do it again. Other than that my experience with it has been that once it stretches and it doesn't take much force to do this that the line doesn't really shrink back to it's original form it wants to get a little thinner and curl up really bad and it's super weak after stretching. TLDR line is mega weak after it stretches and weird stuff happens when using this line.
For the price the line is incredible. I have actually done another review of the 10lb test after making this video. For people in the comments, What kind of fish do you use it for? Best Regards, Leland
@@leland_tv717 Bass stripper hybrid smallies. ..zbco line I use a lot for leader line. I tested it it's better than florocarbon and a lot cheaper. Zeco been around a long time. They still make good products. Have a blessed Day ❤️🙏
Thanks for commenting. Thats unfortunate. It happens sometimes you get an old spool on the shelf or whatever. I had noticed it can be like that in extreme cold ice fishing but it definitely still worked great. For the price alone it may be worth trying again. What did you end up going with instead? Best Regards, Leland
It’s a good line, but a lil preparation will make it a very good line. Before spooling soak the spool in hot water (that should soften it up while spooling) after your spooled up, throw a hook on your line and attach it to a stationary object and and literally let 15-20 ft out and pull it taught a few times and that will take the stretch out of it. I usually do about 30 yrds. And then reel it back on the spool. You wouldn’t believe how flat that line lays, and it now has very very lil stretch. Takes me 10 min. And I’m fishing for Peacock Bass, Largemouth Bass and Snakeheads in Southeast Fla. it’s just as good as Red Label, and most flouros, just have to take 10-15 min to prep the line. Never lost a fish due to line breakage. If I had it was something I did wrong
@@barryhowell9 Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate you sharing how you use the line and make it work well for you. Its pretty amazing how good the line actually is for the price. I have made a few other videos on omniflex since this video changing how i feel about it. I caught a large carp with 10lb test and have been using it since. Its so affordable. I actually noticed at my local walmart they just changed the packaging on the omniflex. Hoping it still the same great line. Best Regards, Leland Live Long and Prosper
Yeah I think with tax it comes to $2.75 or somewhere around there. Still worth it though. Cant even get plastic bags in my state lol. Thanks for commenting Best Regards, Leland
have u actually fished with it? just seems you're buying into the hype you were speaking against..this is all i have used for years..i fish with guys who use other way more expensive line and i catch just as many if not more than they do and have less problems..
Thanks for the response! Yeah so I actually have used this line quite a bit since making this video and have discovered that it is a very capable line! The numerous testimonials I have received in the comments have made this video a very good resource for people wondering. Overall I would say it was a success. What do you fish for and what omniflex test do you use? Best Regards, Leland
@Leland_TV All I do is bass fish. I use anywhere from 10-15lb line the majority of the time. I have some 20lb for the thick stuff. I've used this stuff for years as it's cheap, and I'm a pretty cheap person. I tried braided line and had more problems with that than anything else I've ever used, so needless to say, I don't waste my money or time with it.
@@adamant7146 Hell ya summer time bass fishing is one of the best things on the planet. Looking forward to it. Its really hard to beat line for the price. I caught a huge carp on the 10lb omniflex and it handled really well. Its gotta be alittle higher test than what they say. 10lb probably more like 12lb I have bent some hooks using braided line from not setting my drag properly during hooksets using my baitcaster. On spinning rods I have found braid to work really well for finesse applications. It is expensive stuff though, 150yrds of powerpro is $14-16 Right now I just use the braid for finesse applications. Mono for everything else (big game, omniflex, cajun red) Best Regards, Leland
Thanks for the suggestion. I have one of these tests coming up. I am pretty backed up on footage until Ice Fishing Season starts so it may be a little bit. Best Regards, Leland
I've used 20 lb omniflex catfishing for years and it's just as good as any other. It's the way of the world to deceive someone into thinking any different. 48 lb flathead on this 20 lb test line

My new idea is zebco braid line
slap a label from some expensive line and i bet you cant tell the difference. Cheap price , good line..
I put that line on my and my moms reel. We both catch 15 inches bass...
Very Good line.
For the price the line is incredible. I have actually done another review of the 10lb test after making this video.
For people in the comments, What kind of fish do you use it for?

@@leland_tv717 Bass stripper hybrid smallies. ..zbco line I use a lot for leader line. I tested it it's better than florocarbon and a lot cheaper. Zeco been around a long time. They still make good products. Have a blessed Day ❤️🙏
@@leland_tv717 zebco.. 😂
The memory in it drives me nuts. I stripped it all out and threw it away.
Thanks for commenting. Thats unfortunate. It happens sometimes you get an old spool on the shelf or whatever. I had noticed it can be like that in extreme cold ice fishing but it definitely still worked great. For the price alone it may be worth trying again. What did you end up going with instead?

It’s a good line, but a lil preparation will make it a very good line. Before spooling soak the spool in hot water (that should soften it up while spooling) after your spooled up, throw a hook on your line and attach it to a stationary object and and literally let 15-20 ft out and pull it taught a few times and that will take the stretch out of it. I usually do about 30 yrds. And then reel it back on the spool. You wouldn’t believe how flat that line lays, and it now has very very lil stretch. Takes me 10 min. And I’m fishing for Peacock Bass, Largemouth Bass and Snakeheads in Southeast Fla. it’s just as good as Red Label, and most flouros, just have to take 10-15 min to prep the line.
Never lost a fish due to line breakage. If I had it was something I did wrong
@@barryhowell9 Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate you sharing how you use the line and make it work well for you. Its pretty amazing how good the line actually is for the price. I have made a few other videos on omniflex since this video changing how i feel about it. I caught a large carp with 10lb test and have been using it since. Its so affordable. I actually noticed at my local walmart they just changed the packaging on the omniflex. Hoping it still the same great line.

Live Long and Prosper
I got the 4lb line for 2$ 700 yards
10 Lbs + 700 yds = $3 ??? 😨😱
Here non spooled (plastic bag) 10 Lbs + 400 yds = $2.50 😭😭😭
Yeah I think with tax it comes to $2.75 or somewhere around there. Still worth it though.
Cant even get plastic bags in my state lol.
Thanks for commenting

Four and a half minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Thanks for watching!

And neither will the guy who made the video reading your stupid comment.
have u actually fished with it? just seems you're buying into the hype you were speaking against..this is all i have used for years..i fish with guys who use other way more expensive line and i catch just as many if not more than they do and have less problems..
Thanks for the response!
Yeah so I actually have used this line quite a bit since making this video and have discovered that it is a very capable line!
The numerous testimonials I have received in the comments have made this video a very good resource for people wondering. Overall I would say it was a success.
What do you fish for and what omniflex test do you use?
Best Regards, Leland
@Leland_TV All I do is bass fish. I use anywhere from 10-15lb line the majority of the time. I have some 20lb for the thick stuff. I've used this stuff for years as it's cheap, and I'm a pretty cheap person. I tried braided line and had more problems with that than anything else I've ever used, so needless to say, I don't waste my money or time with it.
@@adamant7146 Hell ya summer time bass fishing is one of the best things on the planet. Looking forward to it.
Its really hard to beat line for the price. I caught a huge carp on the 10lb omniflex and it handled really well. Its gotta be alittle higher test than what they say. 10lb probably more like 12lb
I have bent some hooks using braided line from not setting my drag properly during hooksets using my baitcaster. On spinning rods I have found braid to work really well for finesse applications. It is expensive stuff though, 150yrds of powerpro is $14-16
Right now I just use the braid for finesse applications. Mono for everything else (big game, omniflex, cajun red)
Best Regards, Leland
@@leland_tv717 yes sir..happy fishing
Seems like you have fallen for the conspiracy
I was skeptical at first but its actually great line and have since given it a proper review video. Thanks for watching!
I use Excel mono from BPS. It's made in China but still a good product.
Well why dont you try a break strength test?
Thanks for the suggestion. I have one of these tests coming up. I am pretty backed up on footage until Ice Fishing Season starts so it may be a little bit.
Best Regards,
Leland
