RE: Sandy, salty reel death: not all reels are created equal!
There are many types of drag assemblies - some are a multiple stack of various material discs (steels/brass/teflon/copper/polymers), some are straight friction pads with dimpled pressure pads, some are spring presssure based, and some are arced shoes or flare collars in a cylinder....... to name just a few............... in all cases - none get lubricated.(edit:in the reels I own)

Lubrication would allow the drag to slip in an inconsistent uncontrolled fashion-----------until a great pressure is applied............ then it jams or chatters................

<>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><>

See you on the river.
