Thinking about it, also from the perspective of a clueless person, it's probably safer to have a rod with no line in it for a photo op!

Knowing me, I'd do something clumsy and several meters of line would issue forth and catch onto something and yank a (probably) expensive rod out of my hands, never to be seen again.

I'm in no way condoning the numptiness of the photo op, just thinking about the practicalities of having an idiot handle the kit.

Fishing line is generally clear, so you wouldn't see it anyway. She could have stayed in her warm, dry office, so credit to her for braving a trip on a fishing boat - I certainly wouldn't, everyone would be ankle deep in vomit within minutes - and I'll leave the rest of you to carp (see what I did there) at your leisure.

Although it's easier to get a GP appointment
Hair appointments are one customer at a time, and they disinfect everything a customer might have touched or breathed on between appointments. I had to wait nearly a month, but I can go out safely now, without risking Greg's pellets. Although, now he's switched targets, I can't...

But there doesn't even appear to be any on the reel.

It's magic Brexit fishing line to catch magic Brexit fish from the magic Brexit Sea of Plenty.
