Steve has all the van stalls also but still rinses them after every trip, better safe than sorry even if its just to get the salt off the line, any reel should be rinsed after saltwater use regardless of price....IMO.........

In general I rinse my stuff with the hose about 75% of the time after use. If I get a lot of fish stuff on my equipment I will give it a cleaning with soap and water.
As far as taking the reels apart that is pretty much a winter project.

Cleaning gear
I wash all my gear (and scrub boat if boat fishing) every time I go out. I also use Salt-X every 2 or 3 trips and all my gear has remained pristine. Salt is highly corrosive, and it only takes a few minutes with a garden hose.
Someone mentioned previously about using "soap" and that's good too. But don't use detergents, they strip all the lubricants out. Best to use Salt-X and fresh water.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

I clean my reels after every trip with mild soap and warm water. I used to rinse them with just fresh water but it doesn't always get all the salt off them. so I now use warm water to disolve the salt. i try not to sray them to hard so it doesnt force the salt in to crevesis in the reel. I do take them apart twice and lube them. once in the summer after the spring run and then in the winter before I store them away. as far as the line if it's braid. what I do is at the end of the season I reverse the line so the line that was exposed on this season is in the back of the reel next season and the new line is up front so I guess every two years. If it's mono I change it every month and if the fishing has been very good every two weeks. Murphy's law any thing that can go wrong will go wrong, so you never know when that cow of a life time hits, id like to be prepared and know that my equipment is ready and at it's top shape. Sorry just my two cents.
