Spinning reels need to be cleaned after every fishing session. This is easily done using a mildly damp cloth. Anglers should cover all the visible parts of the spinning reel such as the body, the spool, and the handle. Even taking the process slowly to ensure they cover all of the surfaces is a good idea. This process is particularly important for saltwater fishing anglers. This is where salt particles can get on the spinning reel leading to corrosion issues in the future. When it comes to grease, the spinning reel needs to be disassembled. Simple white grease can be used to coat its moving components.
