Garden Sprayer?
I was thinking of a way to give my reels a quick rinse as well as a way to get some sand off my waders. I've been led to the idea od some sort of garden sprayer which I could keep in the truck.
I checked some websites including Home Depot and there is such a dizzying array of sizes and types. I'm a bit confused as to which is best or if there are different pressures also.
Thank you for shedding some light!

My buddy uses one of those shower in a bag things. They look like they hold @ 3 gallons. You rest the bag on top of your car during the day and you have a hot shower. I think you could get them at any camping store, but they work awesome.

If you go with the Home Depot route, don't spend too much money.
You can get a good 2-3 quart one for like 20-30 bucks.
We used to use them at my old job for spraying hot butter and sherry on to crab pies and scallops. They are surprisingly durable!
Later,

I just use a cheapo Wal-Mart 5 gallon beverage dispenser/cooler (I think it's a big gatorade jug). Just fill it up halfway with tap water...great to have on hand if you need to wash your hands or drinking water too. They leak a bit when jostled around, you can get around that by placing it in a larger rubber tote.

I got a Tru-Temper garden sprayer, it's excellent - holds a couple or three gallons, I guess. It's leak proof, works real well and you keep pumping the handle to get higher pressure.
Ya gotta be careful though - it's high-pressure and you don't wanna wash sand and salt into your reels etc instead of off of them.
