Amnesia or fluorocarbon

[Gazza81]

Been using a id D rig but with 25lb amnesia for a few years now, had a few decent fish on it but been wondering if i might have better results using a fluorocarbon. 

What do you think? 

Also if fluorocarbon, which one as amnesia is cheap rather keep it that way!

I still use Amnesia for stiff rigs, booms and combi-rigs as well as D's.

Personally I found no advantages to fluorocarbon.

Thanks, good to know.

Just for reassurance, 25lb not too thick for a iqd rig you think?

Been using it this way for a while but just wondering

I use 25lb for almost everything.

If you catch it works.

The 'invisibility' has little effect as it's on or close to the lakebed so casting little shadow anyway.

If that's the case then it's down to fish finding or moving onto the bait.

Sounds really stupid, but some waters it takes a few days for the carp to move in to an area.

You aren't doing anything wrong, you get takes and land fish, so it's working.

Sir Pete Springate wrote about fishing taking 4 days to come onto the bait. Maybe they were there, got spooked, and didn't come back round for 4 days. I've fished waters where I had to leave the bait in position for 2days, and an Amnesia rig you can be pretty sure is tangle free, with or without PVA.
