Short of the VanStaal, which I hose down after each use.....
I just hand-wipe mine as well.
During a breakdown, I'll give them a good cleaning.
If you have a decent reel AND take care of it WHILE using it....you don't have to go crazy imo, .....now if you're in the surf letting a non-submersible get constantly dunked, then you're fishing with the wrong reel.
