That sucks, I have done it a couple of times. Occupational hazard.

I did that once last year (not that bad tho) and now if I fish plugs with multiple trebles I ALWAYS have a lip gripper on me to avoid it ever happening again. It just takes that one twich from the fish to bury a treble in your hand!

I have done that a few times but not a problem as all my barbs are crushed.Just grit teeth and pull and then that sigh of relief then make another cast.
