The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

switch them up or sharpen them. Once you sharpen them hit them with a bit of hard as hull

Just about any hook will rust though.

Domination takes full concentration..

I think once rust begins setting in the hooks are on their way out and I wouldn't trust them implicitly. There have been times I've used hooks which had rusted a little, and I couldn't shake the feeling that if I hooked something good, they'd be weakened and break, so in a way it ruined my peace of mind

I always dry my lures off with a rag, and spray them with WD-40 to protect against rusting which seems to work quite well.

To me the biggest problem with rust is what the rust does during a subcutaneous invasion of one of your fingers. That should be more of a concern. Its bad enough when the hook you just dislodged from a fish pierces your skin with the fishes bacteria, but when the hook is rusty the problem is magnefied.
