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 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.

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.

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

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.
