Real men use spit. However mothers spit will remove dirt ect. from a childs face i have seen it happen myself. Having said that do let any mother spit on your line.
TAKE A PHOTO HOME NOT THE FISH. CATCH AND RELEASE
Set the hook first and ask questions later.

Even if your spit had a little acid in it, it would get rinsed off immediately when you make your first cast right???  Not that it does. Spit absolutely does not have any acid in it. That's why heartburn and acid reflux hurts so much. Your mouth and esophagus aren't made to contain that acid for any length of time.

Its a waste of time to argue with a stupid person. Just leave him with his delusions.
I am surprised that someone hasn't said to pee on it if you are worried about the spit damaging the line.

You do have enzymes in your saliva that immediately begin to break down food before you even swallow it. That is absolutely true.
Do these enzymes break down your line and threaten the integrity of your knot? Hardly.
I've always wet my knot with saliva and never experienced a breakage issue.
I don't think I've ever broken off a fish and thought "THOSE DAMN ENZYMES!!!".
Let that goon carry around his sippy cup of ultra-purified, filtered, distilled drinking water to wet his knot for everytime he ties on a lure. That would actually be kinda enjoyable to watch.

The guy was prolly an Algore lovin, tree huggin, liberal yankee democrat, cause he sure wasn't a good ole boy. Personally, I think the fish was attracted to my spit back when I dipped, cause I feel like I used to catch more fish when I dipped than I do now since April 4 2008 (the day of infamy, the day I last dipped).

Two rules come to mind: Rule 1) Never argue with an idiot. They will just bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. Rule 2) See Rule 1
