How I clean my fishing reel and do regular maintenance

Check out my personal blog: www.everylist.com. It's the text version of my channel.

This is how I clean my fishing reel after I go surf fishing. I first spray it with a light spray from a garden hose. Don't use high pressure water as it tends to push sand or dirt into the reel body. Then I let it set for about 24 hours. After it dries, I open the reel body and remove any dirt or sand.

Opening the reel body up to clean it is only necessary if you have a lot of dirt or sand in the reel. Like after you dunk your reel in saltwater or dropped it in the ocean. When you lubricate the reel, it's best to use grease instead of oil; oil tends to be too runny and has a chance to leak out. Regular reel maintenance is key to prevent rust and corrosion.

Usually, I just stop after I rinse my reel and let it dry.
