A little scratch like that? $\:D$ Nothing a couple shots of JD and a foot of electrical tape can't handle for the rest of the day! Fish on...

Dip in seawater for about 5 minutes you'll be good as new. _________________________ would the boy you were be proud of the man you are Growing old ain't for wimps Lonnie Gane

I find snipping it with side cutters at the base and pulling the peice thru the same way it went in to be the trick,never pull it back the way it came.Not that i would know as single barbless is the law round these parts.Pulled a few huge staples out of hands at a job i had years ago. _________________________ Guided trips and deadly jigs, www.bentrods.ca

Bob Dazed and Confused Registered: 03/05/99 Posts: 6367 Loc: Forks, WA & Soldotna, AK	OH man nasty memories ... Same thing, different finger (pinkie). To make matters worse, it was on a kwikie and the other hook still had about a 2 lb. jack flopping around. Gal on the boat actually passed out from all the blood. Thanks for making me think back to that:) Just cut off the hook and back it out ... not much more you can do!

Anonymous Unregistered	My Dad years ago got a hot shot impaled between his thum and forefinger... Long before the days of WSR and barless hooks... This is the first drift of the day fishing his favorite plug and he lands a hog that thrashes around and runs the hook right thru the flesh... My Old man is pretty hardcore when it comes to fishing, and there is no way he will screw up the action of a proven Hot Shot by cutting off a hook. So What does he do... He grabs the pliers and procedes to twist the hook right out of his hand, friggen barb and all... I wince just thinking of it to this day... To top it off he didn't hook another fish the entire day on that plug...
