I beat the bag out of mine. A LOT of dunking. Very, Very rarely even rinse it off. Hasn't been any problem over the past 2 Years. Just pull the drag washers out and wipe them down. If it is getting dunked a lot, every once in a while dump a tube of Penn reel lube into the lube hole.
At the end of the season, bring it a reel fixer and have them clean it, lube it.
