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.

ok thanks for the replys/info
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.
