Default Re: Washing down a conventional reel after use

WD40 work its way into the reel and dissolve grease, it is NOT a lubricant and eventually your gears will grind dry.

Lock down drag, very gentle stream of water from the tap or a spray bottle, towel dry, back off drag, air dry, and oil the knob/spool/roller bearings and worm gears.
