I do, 50lb PP and it picks up fleas but a quick slap they come off, if they are thick we pull up and check them often.

I like the fact that it saws the fleas.

All in all I like it.

We run 30 LB PP for our spring dipsy rods and they load up pretty quickly once the fleas show up. We switch to wire usually in the middle of July and put the PP dipsy rods away for the season. I would guess that 50 or 65lb PP would be a bit better for fleas - however you can't get as deep as wire line as easily.

I ran 65 lb. PP yesterday and the fleas werent too bad at all. I had flea ficker on another and that was even better. Almost none on that. Couple days ago I had mono on a downrigger line and couldnt even reel it all the way in they were so thick.
