Default Re: Washing down a conventional reel after use

I believe that WD40 dries into a sticky film that would impede function of small moving parts.
The reason I've heard for tightening your drag is to help prevent grit from entering.
I personally wash the reel down with light soap and then gentle fresh water spray.
