Re: [VFB] Cleaning of ff stuff after salt water fishing

Mark, what type of lubricant do you use?

Now I'm wondering, how I should take care of my equipment. I've already discovered rust on some not so important things - the hemostats got a bit of rust and a nipper. Very quick, Mr. rust. My questions: What to do with the rods, I used? Anything to do with the rods, which I didn't use. They were in a seperate container, which I didn't opend - but they were probably exposed to moist air. Same question to reels? I rinsed and dried all my flies, which I fished, before I returned them to my fly boxes. More actions suggested? Should I rinse my fly boxes? Nipper and Zinger? Other thoughts?
