A self-destructing fish hook having a selected small anodic area of exposed steel, and a highly cathodic plating covering a much larger area of the hook surface. When immersed in seawater, the resulting galvanic couple causes the small anodic area to corrode rapidly and the hook to eventually break. In a preferred embodiment, a temporary protective coating is provided for at least one member of the couple to delay the onset of corrosion of the steel anodic area so that the hook can retain 100 percent of its strength for a substantial period of usage in seawater before corrosion of the steel body is initiated.
