Hi Capt Marc,
I rinse all my rods with fresh water as soon as a trip is over(at dock).
At home I wash the rods in warm water using hand soap and then rinse well. Usually do this in the shower.
Looking at the AFTCO catalog it says, "To keep your rollers turning freely, always flush the entire guide (and tip-top) with fresh water each time you return to the dock. This will wash away the saltwater residue that can build up between the roller and frame, and is all the maintenance required to assure that your roller guides will perform perfectly for years to come."
You can go to www.aftco.com to review this and any other info.
