As far as the corrosion on your reel, don't be so concerned. As long as you rinse them off very good, you'll have no issues. Most reels are made with stainless steel ball bearings and many with brass or stainless gears and drive. An Okuma is no different, and makes a solid reel, you'll have no issues with a good rinsing.
What I usually do is submerge the reel in freshwater(I always stop by the river on the way home from a trip to the ocean) and give it a few cranks. With a spinning reel, just flip the anti-reverse and reel it back and forth a few times. Make sure you give'em a shot of lube once he dries out. You'll be good to go![cool]
