Quick Corrode Hooks ?

What kind of alloy would make a good hook AND corrode in fresh
water in about a week.
Think something like Sintered Cast Iron would work?
What metals corrode in a few days?

Actually there is no metal that will work well as a hook and corrode
that fast

I love to have hooks like this for my plastic worms and my
foam poppers. So what if the lure needs a bit more care...

Think about it.
Gut hook a fish or break off a trophy and rest assured
it hasn't just received a death sentence.

Or How about hooks lost in those mixed use areas? Be nice to
know that hooks lost near the boat dock wont be around to
snag a kids foot the next week.

Any metallurgist geniuses out there?
Hey - What did Chrysler used to make those K cars out of ?

'Cause I don't believe most fish survive waiting for a standard
hook to corrode, lets keep this thread on the topic of corrosion
please.

If you come up with an alloy that will do this, I can easily get you
royalties for the next 20 years, but remember it also must have the
proper strength, and the ability to be properly sharpened and hold that
point. It still must be reliable, and it must be workable on existing
hook making machines. This is no simple problem to be solved, the hook
companies have been looking for over five years, for a wire alloy that
has all these properties
