Gang,
I started to ty for an upcoming adventure in September, my first flies
for the salt.
Question:
What about the materials, especially the metals? When I put different
metals (like copper, steel, zinc) into water, e little bit of
electricity is generated, in saltwater the generated voltage is a bit
higher - at least technically. For sure not dangerous, but it might have
2 effects: More issues with corrosion and it produces a bitter smell.
Try to put both electrodes of a little battery (say 4,5 V) on your
tongue, you will see what i mean. (Pleeeeeaaaaassee, kids, no
experiments, no joking with higher voltages).
When I look at my flies, there are a lot of different metals on it: the
hook, some lead, eyes from copper, flash materials (Aluminium?), maybe
some tinsel.
Has anybody thoughts on this?
