Getting a hook stuck in your finger is something that invariably happens to us all. I’m going to cover the basic steps of safely removing it and treating the area so you can get back to fishing as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
Don’t Panic<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the most important part. It will hurt a bit and your finger will probably bleed, but stay calm and you can easily remedy the situation. There are two methods I’m going to discuss and both will require fine motor skills, which you will not have if your adrenaline is pumping. Take some deep breaths, assess the situation, and gather the tools you will need.<\/p>\n String Method<\/strong><\/p>\n The first and probably easiest method to try is known as the string method.<\/p>\n Advance & Cut<\/strong><\/p>\n The advance and cut technique is less than ideal. I would start with the string method first, and if unable to remove the hook then try advance and cut.<\/p>\n\n
