Rec in the article is tetenus booster for FIVE years since last one for this sort of penetrating trauma not the usual 10 yrs. Just wanted to make sure I am not misleading anyone. Tight lines.
I hooked myself once, fortunately I had a pair of snips with me and cut the barb off and backed it right out. I've hooked myself several times over the years but only once up to the barb, ouch.
My son David got a hook in his ear once pretty bad, emergency room trip took care of it, I wont mention who was holding (casting) the rod when this mishap occured.
