i usually take them off my rods then let them soak in a bucket with water. then i start to clean off the rest of my gear/kayak. the last thing i usually clean are the reels usually take let them soak for an hour. i take them out shake the water our and let it drip dry. them i towel them off and spray some wd40 on them. after that use paper towels and wipe off.
i stand them up so that the rest of the water drips out and i also loosen the drag.
