I'm fairly new to FFishing in the Salt & I just got back from a Bonefishing trip in the Bahamas. i knew I had to clean everything up well before putting it away for the next trip , so I just rinsed everything off in warm tapwater. I was putting the equipment away in the basement when I came across one of those old aerator foot massagers my wife had from years ago. I got a brainstorm & filled it up with warm water & dropped the reels & snippers & anything else metal in it & turned it on. I let it go for about 1/2 hr & then took everything out & put it away to dry. When I dumped the water there was some sand in the bottom. This was after I thought I had flushed everything well enough. I dried all the reels & spools & lubed them up again but was wondering what was enough. What do you guys do after a long trip in the salt. How do you clean & protect your equipment. I'm keeping the foot massager handy for the next trip but wonder if it's overkill.
