favourite snood?

im still looking for the perfect snood line, i usually use amnesia but have been told to buy clear snoods from now on and since amnesia don't stock clear snoods i was wondering whats you favorites?

stren ,,, love it plus it doesnt stretch like amnesia

Amnesia do clear snood....I've seen red, black and clear, in fact I have all three.
Depends on the shop you use I think.

is that the stren in the purple packet dbrock, have a spool beside me looks good:D


thanks eoin il look into that, does anyone think a switch to flouro would increase catch rate during comps?

yep thats the one,,, prob wont be as abrasive as the amnesia but doesnt stretch ,,, i love it dont use my amnesia at all anymore

I've been using clear amnesia for years but recently I've noticed some quality control problems. On two spools the plastic spool itself fell apart leaving me with a mess of line. I also had a spool of amnesia that seemed very brittle and wouldn't hold a knot. Maybe time to change ...

I normally use the clear amnesia for snoods but I haven't any problems with it so far. :? Do you reckon it was just a bad batch or quality slipping in general?

i use clear amnesia or florocarbon depending on the situation..

Have been using this for a while,Sufix memory free 30lb clear find it ok couldnt get amnesia in local shop.

had the same problem myself on both fronts.

I think they changed the type of spool and it hasn't worked. I've had bad quality spools from a couple of mail order sources.

I'm not sure about the line itself, that might have been an isolated case.

eric i used to use amnesia all the time, but now on my lighter beach rigs for flatties and that i now use flurocarbon and noticed a big increase in my catch rate in comps... :D

thanks toadie,

suffix do a fantastic snood line... check it out...

Used Amnesia for a while but gave up on it due to the amount of stretch in it whish made using clipdown rigs without SRTs a nightmare. Switched to 20lb Fluoro a few weeks ago and its a major improvement. The fluoro has a bit of memory alright if it gets tangled or spun around by a fish or whatever but on the whole, much better job than the amnesia.

Are the clear snood lines all that you guys use
:?:

The best way to get around this is to use a sliding bait clip, stretch isn't an issue then.

the best snood is the one that catches the fish, try a few then see which one you like and have the most confidence in, after all believing in yourself is half the battle

i find maxima chameleon excellent, use it for clipped traces in 20lb and lower diameters for flappers, use fluorocaron on flappers too, chameleon is supple and knots very well, give it a stretch and itll stay as straight as any memory free line, you can buy t in 600m spools aswell so its good value.

I use cascades on all my clip down rigs Eoin, due solely to the 100% release rate. Too many unclipping issues with those sliding things.
