Re: Washing reels
A top notch Tkle shop owner once mentioned to me he never rinses off his reels. He merely sprays w a silicone and wipes down after each use. The water depending on how hard you may spray your reels may in fact may wash the salt into the reels gearing and cause damage down the road.
I had done this most of my career but decided to go the other route especially in cold months.
Seems to work just fine, a shot after each use wipe down ready to go on next trip. I do at least once a yr re oil or grease where required maybe more depending on useage.. Two seasons now on this method no issues. I always back off those drags when not in use,this keeps them in good shape as well.
