How about this one then fellas? I reckon you could get 2 per finger. Thats 20 lures all up. Keeps them handy (excuse the piss weak pun ). Probably more applicable to yakkers with the mirage drive system as 20 lures could impair one's paddling ability.

p.s. always carry a pair of good long nose pliers.

look dad, I sharpened the barbs really well on your new lure, whoops....

eeoowwcchh...

:roll:

Did that with a nail gun once, Only once learnt to keep fingers out of the way then.
At uni they call that experiential learning, but i reckon it just sucks

Ouch

This shot is one that was sent to me a couple of days ago. Happened to a chap on the central coast over the weekend. Not sure of the circumstances but he apparantly had to wait until he got home as he had no pliers to take the end off. Sure looks like it hurt though

(picture sent to me by Tackle World Mark's Point. Hope none of you mind me mentioning their name. I said I would when I obtained permission to post it. They are good blokes by the way).

I had a finger operation a month ago and they put a pin in it. I had it removed last thursday, so I know how this guy must've felt!

Oh no I gonna faint..............I'm back< very bloody painfull

 

[Y-Knot]

yeah, Hmmmmm, arhhhhhhh yep...

 

[Dodge]

Another good example of the advantage of crushed down barbs on trebles, and be able to remove it, rather than go for the camera

 

[rawprawn]

Didnt pick a small lure to try it out on did he. Not real smart on the Central Coast are they

 

[JT]

Ahh don't be too hard on yourself Greg :lol:

 

[andybear]

Hi all,

And just to make things worse, our creator put umptythree percent of all our nerves in our fingers, just to make sure it bloody hurts...... oooh I might start to flatten my barbs!

Cheers all Andybear :lol:

 

[paffoh]

Did this about 1 1/2 months ago but didnt want to even think of taking a photo, after gaining the courage i reversed it through and proceeded to pass out without even getting off the launch site

This looks a little worse though, poor guy.

That pic is more evidence that my strategy of removing all hooks from lures is the best practice.

 

[spooled1]

The good news for this fella is the exposed hook point and barb.

In terms of hooking ones finger, this is the text book version for ease of removal.
