Default Don't forget to turn your head

Ouch, this hurt
Attached is a photo of the back of my hand, after I broke off a tree
snagged rig. The hole in my hand was made by a number 8 swivel, no hook,
no weight , just the swivel, I had to pull the line to get the embedded
swivel out of the back of my hand. I had ten pound test line on, the rig
broke off at the swivel, and it came flying back at me, penetrating the
back of my hand past the barrel, just one eye was left sticking out, the
bone is the only thing that stopped it from going completely under the
skin. If that had hit me in the eye it would have been lost .

ALWAYS TURN YOUR HEAD AWAY WHEN BREAKING OFF A SNAGGED LINE !!!!!!!!!
