			<description><![CDATA[ Kenji I'm no expert when it comes to braid and Barbel as I manly use braid for lure fishing as a rule but one or two points may help. Set you clutch a bit slacker than you would with Mono and don't strike just lift into the fish. a softer rod does helps.<br> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Amnesia is @#%$ as leader materiel John,..the knots are huge and rattle in the rings , or worse , jam,..(the only knot you can really use with it is a uni..)...It doesn`t have the abrasive resistance of MOST braids,..the only real use for it is for a stiff link,..and for that it`s superb...<br>
Not sure the colour makes one iota of difference,..although maybe the clear reflects a little more light...<br>

 I may be wandering across to try my club's fishing on the <br>
 Ribble which is known for its rock ledges. I do have the <br>
 Amnesia Black - or should I get the Clear for snag leaders?<br>
 Just wondering about the effect of the colour on the fish<br>
 - dont think it matters after dark or in flood water<br>
