Reel cleaning - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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
