Verdi gris

No, not a grey composer, but the vivid green encrustings and concretions that metal acquires when it’s left unused for ages.

So, in readiness and anticipation of Thursday’s boat fishing trip, I took down a tackle box and rod bag which haven’t seen the light of day for several years.

And “several” does mean 7+.

It was therefore with huge delight that I found the rods to be virtually unblemished, with previously WD-40’d rollers* in fine working order, and reels with no signs of rust or corrosion.

Even hook traces were clean and ready for action.

Good omens for the trip, eh?

* proper boat rods have metal rollers instead of rings
