This ever happen to any of you guys or is it just me?

I was fishing a rip rap along a river last spring. I went to make a nice long cast with a jig when ithe jig gets stuck in the rocks. I of course didn't know this... I was using a spinning rig with 50 lb stealth. When I went through my cast motion, the braid sliced into my index finger real deep. Ended my night fishing... As I sit here a year later, there is a grayish-black line tattooed into my idex finger where the braid went in

I always wrap a piece of that white linen athletic tape around my finger. Lasts all night even when wet, Haven't had a cut finger when using it.

I second the fireline. I used 50#PP and was constantly into wind knots. Switched to fireline and have had no problems.
