Seriously though, by no means an expert but 6 yrs fishing regularly in a boat in Narr Bay I have seen only 2 boats yo-yo-ing, so not sure if its "rampant"
So all the hooks from lost eels, lost plugs, etc are not harmful to fish? Wont a fish swallow every lost eel with hooks on it, that cant be good for a fish?

Yo-yo-ing isn't as much a problem inside the bay, but outside of it in the deeper water. Lots of it going on out there.
I think the concern is more that window sash weights and spark plugs aren't going to rust out in the salt water nearly as fast as hooks. Hooks rust out pretty fast, and as far as I know are much less dangerous than the materials being used to yo-yo.
