Tbh they're not too bad compared with a lot that bites, scratches and stings
in the countryside or on the water.

The scary thing is it's always with rusted hooks...lol

Now I do try to avoid that part - at the very least keep the points bright.

I wonder how many of you guys carry band aids when you go casual fishing?

I always have a small first-aid tin in my pocket.

The great thing about hooks is, if at all possible, to get them out quickly.
I have an illustration of one of the better methods on one of my pages; see
