i have cut alot of lines on my jigs and hooks to let fish go. though i have heard a thousand times the hooks dissolve and im sure they do. i doubt that the time frame it takes to dissolve a hook the fish probably has a 50 50 shot i guess. but imagine that hook would be in there for quite a while as a object blocking their feeding habits. being my field of specialty in metallurgy and so forth i dont think the hooks dissolve in a quick manner like alot of us would like to think. but since idont like fish i let them go and at least give them the chance to fight it out.
