cleaning of rod and reel

[catfool]

When I lived on the coast and fished salt water alot I used to rinse the reels off after every trip then break them down and wash in mild dish soap and relube twice a year. I'd say more often if their used on the beach because of the fine sand tha t gets into them. Sounds like a lot but gear costs money and a little time and effort SOB so I don't like paying for something twice. []
