20lb Amnesia as a hook length?

[Adam Wylie]

I am going to try Amnesia as a hook length this season, I was thinking 20 lb BS or 15lb BS .
I am using a 40lb braid for mainline, size 6 or 8 hooks.Any thought please ?

12lbs is adequate but 15lbs max

I regularly use 20lb Amnesia as a hooklink but with a braid hair or braid combi rig

For carp fishing?

Barbel fishing

It's great for a combi rig when you want to ensure your hook length is nailed to the deck. There's a US line called Seagau or something like that, mainly found in 'game' shops. but it's excellent.

Just need to think outside the box sometimes ,

40lb braid mainline seems a bit strong to me. If i use braided hooklink then 15lb esp sinklnk is enough

It's diameter is no more than 12lb mono !

For me it's not about the diameter, if you are worried about spooking the swim use a back lead. If you are worried about snags, then a decent mono is much better abrasion resistance. Only benefit is bite detection and who needs that targeting barbel. For small rivers, mainline braid poses more danger to fish. But I'm not judging, just offering my experiences
