In my eel trap in the North River I hang a mackeral chunk from a 7/O Mustad. The hook will last all season. I believe it is probably the acids in the fishes disgestive system that rots the hook. How long does this take, who knows but I'm sure it is more than a few days. IMO probably more like a 45 days.
