Been there a few times. I used to wait in the ER for the novacaine and a bandage. The last two times I just had someone rip it out. Another great reason to just fish eels with a 5/0! Hope you feel better.  |

I did that the other day, one thing different though, I CRIMP ALL THE BARBS ON EVERY PLUG I OWN!!!!! 
Slips right back out with a tiny little hole.
Un crimped barbs are dangerous and hooks with crimped barbs penetrate deeper and easier on you and the release of fish.
Don't crimp and pay the consequences.  |
Why even try.........

...and that is one more reason why I fish barbless. Hope it didn't ruin your day.

Do you find that using a split ring instead of open-eyed hook affects the action of the plug at all?
Sorry wrong thread. 
To the bend. Hope it wasn't too tough to get out. I cringed in pain just looking at it. |

It only hurt for the first 4 1/2 hours until I had it removed at the ER around 1:00 am. But the real fun was having the fish on one end of the plug my thumb on the other and it thashing around the boat!

it only took doing this once to make me crimp. I think the stay hook ratio is about the same on bass, while those asswipe blues shake themselves off a little more.

May fortune favor the foolish....

Try doing that when the hook is in your thigh right your thru the waders
and the bass is going nuts 1/2 in the water 1/2 out
I just took my pliers and with one good pull it was out |
