For me it's the trying to pull out that hurts worse! It's how I damaged some nerves in my finger (330 caught my arm) That's why I don't use 660s. 330 would be hard enough I imagine. Just think if it were a MB1216.

So after hunting this morning I went and checked my line and decided to put in a couple more sets. Well, still ain’t sure how it happened, but I managed to catch myself. Now I’ve had them snap on my hand once or twice, but today I caught a finger...my middle finger!! I don’t know if the snapping of the jaws hurt more or when I tried to snatch it out when it went off. That chain don’t go but so far no matter how high I jumped! I can tell you I don’t want to do it again or in a bigger trap, lol!! Hahahaha, I think the almost dislocated shoulder hurts the most when I reach the end of the chain. Them earth anchors, and quality #2 size traps can sure put the brakes on my #230 lb’s. I don’t worry about holding ability after having been “held” a couple times!

I think I was more in shock (ticked off) that it only got one finger! And it was a full finger catch too...right before the middle knuckle, lol!

Reading some of y’all’s post...has anyone ever been caught in a 750? I believe that size would literally break a finger. I got my bare left hand in a MB750 this year. Jaws right across the knuckle at the base of my thumb and index finger. It really hurt bad, I went through my whole colorful vocabulary in one breath talking through a little girl scream then mixing combinations of earlier words used. I was very lucky I was setting it on the tailgate of my truck and had a set of one handed setters or I would of had to drive somewhere to get help. It was not fun!
