My set up is pretty low tech. A bit of dish soap and a soft brush for the yak and paddle.

My Plano box usually gets wet so I rinse the box, lures, pliers, ect and spread them on a towel to dry
.
Lots of guys blast their rods n reels with water. That usually just forces water n salt in to the reel.

I give the rods a good spray but mist and dry the reels.
Most reels have drain holes on the bottom so I leave the rods horizontal with the reels up for a day before storing them vertically.

Periodically I'll oil the reels with the lube that comes with them. A couple times a year I'll give the rods a good wash with dish soap and a soft towel. I'll dry them and put on a coat of turtle car wax. Keep dirt, blood, scales, n salt from sticking.
