Ouch!!!! I had one buried in my earlobe a many years ago thanks to the neighbor kid who was not watching behind him while casting. I just felt a quick tug on my ear, then nothing. I look at my uncle who was basically trying to keep from cracking up as he looked at the jig and micro shad dangling like an ear ring. When the hook went in it turned side ways so the point did not come out. My uncle, being the loving man he is, got out his pliers and said on three. Well he yanked on 2 and laughed. It really was not that bad. Kind of funny now that I think about it.
It is not about the equipment you have to use,
It is about how you use the equipment you have. :D
