Amnesia?

[Guest keenook]

Does anyone remember the Amnesia rig circa 1990? As I have forgoton how to tie it up

 

Seriously, it was a fantastic rig back then.............Help?

I used to use amnesia to tie all of my D rigs, great stuff and memory free

I still use the original 80s version of what is now called a D rig......far more effective

[cobleyn]

I can remember Amnesia House; circa 1991-1993. Mostly Shelly's and The Eclipse in Cov.

 

Ironically I thinks its those days that's affected my memeory .

I think I can remember, loop to swivel, standard knot to hook and supple hair.....never tried a D rig, worth a go?

[travisbickle]

its just the new name for the old "sliding hair" from mid 80s Kev...but without as much finesse

Good for spuds?

[garysj01]

You got me thinking of how i used to tie my amnesia rigs, and here they are, the top one was the one i used first then it developed into the one underneath over time.

 

Great rigs, i do wonder why i stopped using them?

Looks good Gary, I will have a play once I get some hooks

[johnplumb]

Can i ask why would you want to add all the extra to the top rig what do you gain from all the tubing ?

[garysj01]

It was really for a pop up, i wanted to push the D higher on the hook, the tubing looks excessive because its all tied to a size ten hook,( its all i have on me at the moment ) i used to use Drennan Boilie hooks size 6, and as a bottom i used to use it as a snowman rig.

Gary....similar to the original sliding hair but two crucial differences that make the original rig a winner hands down in my opinion....a perfect rig for wary/riggy carp...almost impossible to eject....coupled with a seriously good HNV.....its deadly(not literally)

 

And as a footnote....Im no follower of fad or fashion over rigs...this one came along 25plus years back and still outscores for me.....when I cant keep it simple

[garysj01]

Did you ever use the black amnesia?

[salokcinnodrog]

Black and clear Amnesia worked for me, even the green when I could get it.

 

I used the loop knot at the swivel end, 3 turn blood knot the hook on and then tie a bait floss or whipping thread hair down the shank from the eye.

 

I did try it with a knotless knot from the Amnesia itself, but found it a little stiff and got a few hookpulls doing that.

I also used the black, and yes Nik that sounds like it with a suple hair......
