garysj01 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I used to use amnesia to tie all of my D rigs, great stuff and memory free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisbickle Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobleyn Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keenook Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think I can remember, loop to swivel, standard knot to hook and supple hair.....never tried a D rig, worth a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisbickle Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 its just the new name for the old "sliding hair" from mid 80s Kev...but without as much finesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garysj01 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keenook Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Looks good Gary, I will have a play once I get some hooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnplumb Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Can i ask why would you want to add all the extra to the top rig what do you gain from all the tubing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garysj01 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 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.

travisbickle Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garysj01 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Did you ever use the black amnesia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keenook Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I also used the black, and yes Nik that sounds like it with a suple hair...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
