30lb boom on my hinge and combi. Never had a problem using Amnesia. Been using it for a long time now.

I think a few companies just rebadge it

Have for years. Excellent stuff in both the 20 & 25lb.

Would people say the knot strength is higher on 20lb amnesia than a 20lb Fluoro ? With a figure of 8 loop ? I've just got a spool in 20lb and feels so much better than a fluoro, want to try it with a combi rig, I normally use 20lb IQ2 but the amnesia seems a better all rounder stiffness wise.

the amnesia has more stretch in it and in some cases is thicker in diameter than fluro so im sure it would stand up to more abuse.
when i use it i find it a nice material to handle

The different colours of Amnesia have different suppleness.
Clear Amnesia is stiffer than black from my experience.

I know for years Terry Hearn used black as his boom on Hinge rigs.

I use both on combi-rigs with no problems.

I've not used it in a a very long time, probably early 0's but I wouldn't hesitate to use it if it's the same as it was.
I still have some knocking around somewhere...hmm.

Yes it's is a good material. I use it 70% of the time depending on the bottom. I just have to say one thing though it's not as strong as Fluorocarbon when it comes to fishing in heavy snag waters. Have guys here that fish the material as leaders that found out a bit late

. All in all its 1st choice for combi/hingr boom rigs here for most anglers. I found it to be stronger than most materials for combis and knot strenght is unrivaled.

In what you refer to I would agree. Your boom would outlast your leader. It truly is a great material mate. I crimp mine and then change out the hooks and soft braid sections. Never had the boom go on me before. Used it in Rocky areas,d ence snags even over fresh water mussel.

Cheers

I used the 20lb clear as the 5" boom section on a ronnie rig, 4 turn grinner either end, quick change clip at the leadclip end and the qc ronnie swivel thing at the other.
Had a nice double on it.

The great thing about Amnesia is the price because its not marketed to the carp fisherman you don't get the added carp tax. 100m of Amnesia in 15lb or 20lb will last ages!

25lb Clear for booms and hooklinks, like it because of its stiff characteristics but it's also soft at the same time

Stiff yet soft
