Same lure, tiny torepedo, two different occasions, both past the barb. First time, tying the lure on, tightening the knot with the tag end in my teeth, main line snaps and I pull the bait right into my upper lip! Not all the way thru into my mouth but just in between all the way to the bend. Ended up just yanking it out. No blood, no swelling, went fishing!
Second time, dusk, cast ended up with the lure stuck on a weed. Couple flagarant, temper tantrum pulls later, weed lets go and the sound of that bait is true to its name, prop spinning, whirring, not sure how its going to hit me so I try to cover my face and bam, feel it hi me in the fore arm but not hit the deck. Sure enough, impailed to the bend of the trebby! Thought I had the point and barb pushed thru, cut it and loose the cut piece of the hook lost in my arm! Finally got it out about 45 mins later. Needless to say I'm a bit phobic about torpedoes now!!
