Reel Maintenance? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I usually end up kayak saltwater fishing every 1-2 weeks. I have a shimano Tor30 reel and a cheap Daiwa reel. When I get home and rinse everything out with my garden hose at home I usually fill a 5 gallon bucket and leave my reels soaked in water overnight. I know my 5 gallon soaking method is probably not the ideal way to be cleaning them. ffice
