Nathan, First place if you have used it in salt water should always rinse the reel off with fresh water. Then I take my reels apart once a month and clean them. Bait casting reels are more sensitivity then spinning reels. Use dry rags and plenty of q-tips cotton swabs and the after all clean put a drop of oil on Q-Tip and do the internal area and no grease. Spinning Reels take apart and lay out all the parts in order you took apart and clean with rag and then Q-Tips and then oil and grease the shaft and all the gears, replace all the parts and then your done.
