Salt Away? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Does anyone ever use salt away to clean their reels off at the end of the day? I was thinking about getting some and im seeing if anyone has an opinion on it.

Same here. tried many others, but this works the best for me.

I used it the first time last year - rinsed the reels off as usual, then sprayed them with Salt Away and put them on the rack. The next week when I went to get them the reels seemed to have a waxy coating on them. Really didnt affect anything, and the coating seems to last a long time. I stopped using it on reels and just rinse now, but I do spray down the Mirage Drive on the Hobie to keep the chains and pins from rusting and it works good for that.

Does somewhere like west marine have it or is it something im going to have to order online? I looked on corosion x's websight and it looks like there is no dealers in CA

I've purchased it at Westmarine and at Sav-On tackle in Santa Fe Springs, Sav-On tackle replaced Salt Away with Corrosion X. I used to use C X on my boat, its an awesome product. Its not cheap but you definitely get what you pay for.

Is salt-away different/better than salt-x? I generally wash off rods/kayak with salt-x. I prefer a freshwater only rinse on my reels and then speed-x to get ready for the next trip.
