Well, if i just rinse them out with the hose the next time i take the reels out you can feel the salt in the reel. (barely)

When i soak my reels overnight the next time i take them out i don't feel the salt. it is smooth

What i do: i leave the reels attached to the rod and fill the bucket all the way to the top and put the reels face down in the water (the rods are perpendicular to the bucket), the next morning i just leave them out to dry.
