Whats the best thing to do after a fishing trip? I have always just sprayed them with a hose minimizing the direct shot to the reels.

Nothing.....if you want whip down with light wet rag ....

I never do anything with mine.... I might hit them with reel magic spray.....

I clean my reels once a year ...

Have one core I have used for 2 years now and just changed all the bearing a month ago...

the instructions manual that came with my last chronarch said to lightly mist outside of reel with fresh water to remove salt before lightly oiling

i don't hose the reel hard, mostly just the rod

i just spray it on the handles and worm gear if salt dries on my reel before i get back in
