I know what you mean Carl. I've heard all my grown up life that if you cut
the line and leave the hook in it will rust out in a matter of days. I don't
believe it. I'm not sure how long it will take to come out if it does, but
I'm not buying the "couple days" or even weeks theory unless someone here
knows of a study that supports that.

A few weeks ago, maybe a month or more now that i think of it, I saw a
program on tv that recommended leaving a long piece of line along with the
hook . . . like six inches or so. I'm not sure of the reasoning, but that
also made no sense to me. . . having this animal swimming around with a
piece of line hanging out of it's mouth that we all know won't melt away for
the next thousand years !

like to hear any other thoughts
