I have and you cannot beat them.

5 or 6 years ago out on the reef at the Fire Beach in Weakapaug and I land a 15# or so. Go to unhook the fish, waist deep in water and drive a 3/0 right thru the last finger on my left hand with the bass still attached.

Hugged the bass to my chest and got the manleys out of my holster and cut the shank of the hook. Whew!!!!

No boat, back in the suds.
