I give all my gear a rinse down in the yard wit the hose or in the shower. I use a light misty style spray and them wipe them off with a towel. Now and then I'll open them up and make sure they are lubed and give a little TLC to the bearings. The level wind worm gears and the pin in the line guide can get corroded in fresh water reels so I try to rinse and lube that area frequently as well. Mike

Shimano
If you have a shimano reel they are located in Irvine, I take mine in every 2 years and for a few bucks they are made like new. These guys know there reels.

Check out alantani.com. Everything you need to know and more about reels, it's a really cool site. 1 thing nobody has mentioned, make sure you button your drag down tight before you rinse off your reels. I heard the shimano rep on lets talk hookup say that he squirts his reels with windex, wipes them down and then a very lightweight rinse.
