I have been rinsing my reels for years and have never had a problem. I tighten down the drags before rinsing, wipe down with WD-40 after they dry and loosen the drags to store. I do this after every trip. When in Baja I either rinse them off in the shower or dip them in a bucket of fresh water at the end of each day. I also take them in for a tune up once a year. For years my primary reels have been a Sealine and an Abu 6500, I also use a Trinidad 40 and the Calcutta 400 & 700 but prefer the others on the yak. I guess the juries still out...to rinse, or not to rinse.
