you might just try using dilute muriatic acid or whatever and see what it
takes to remove the coating on
your various steel hooks (and definitely don't use stainless hooks).
Completely clean steel will corrode fairly quickly.
Probably the biggest issue is if the pickling process will ruin the point.

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?

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.
