Last weekend I was fishing a heavy mink on the main line with a hamster on a short piece of 50 lb flouro as a teaser. Freakin hamster kept on knawing through the flouro and casting off.
I had to tighten up his harness so he couldn't breathe as well, and I think that kept him from chewing as much. Also, and this is an important tip. Put a spoonfull of marmalade in their mouth as you're rigging them. Use the good stuff with no added sugar. It may seem like an extra expense, but they'll be so occupied for the first few casts you might just hook up with a cow.
