I've put some together but not actually used them... they seem to hold fine under my testing but I wouldn't be happy target fishing with it, yet. The 25 is 100% fine though. Crimped that a lot lately and it's dealt with everything.

I used to use the 25lb a lot found it stiffer and better than the 20lb for the uses I wanted. I would imagine it would be easier to crimp than 20lb as it's that much thicker.

Possibly the new Korda crimps for the new 15lb Boom will work with 20lb amnesia

Just keep knotting it if your confident in that method, I tried crimping and lost a very good fish when the hooklink stretched and pulled through the crimp.

See no advantage to crimping to be honest !

Yup, will be interesting if the new 0.5 mm Krimps with the new Krimping tool will work with 'mono-esque' lines like Amnesia..

I was trying some crimps with 30lb amnesia and tested with two pullers.
The 0.7mm crimps were slipping the odd time, but the 0.6mm crimps were perfect every time.

I also used the 0.6mm crimps on 25lb avid flouro and they were perfect.

I always blob the end as a extra security if it should happen to slip 👍

Best people to ask are probably sea anglers. They crimp a hell of a lot of their rigs, and use far more amnesia than we do.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
