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.

Well, hell, just put a few hooks into some lake water and watch.
They'll still be just fine a year later.
Maybe 10 years later.
At least as long as they stay submerged.

Salt water, much different of course.
