why would you have to throw away the hooks if you used glue?

It's just a question of the time spent recycling the hook.

Obviously, with the dacron, you don't have to throw them away - you can hold the hook with a pair of pliers or put it back in the vice and cut off the dacron with an exacto or sharp knife and then just re-use them.

With the Mustad 94150 hooks, they are real cheap, but strong and not stainless. So in a worst-case scenerio, if you gut hook a fish, they can be left in the fish - they'll rot out fairly quickly.
