I find that difficult to comprehend (could be different person to person) but I do know that the avets bearings don't like prolonged water exposure. My jx blew a bearing and for 35 bucks avet replaced and tuned it for me and its braved la jolla all year (knock on wood)
After every use I fill up a bucket with fresh water and give all my reels a good shake in it.
Whatever gets the fish to the boat
