Exactly.  I never understood why folk load up their dishwasher with aluminum pans and stainless steel utensils but are afraid to get their reels wet.

I won't argue with Dave.  I never soak just service and I have never had an issue. Spray during running is a killer though.

That's a good place for the drains.  They will also drain well on a rod stored vertically.  Those big drain holes are good too.

Tried to keep my fish processing fee low, worked somewhat with it just shy of $800. If you are real aggressive on the slide you will get them! Fish is best when given away or consumed immediately.

Yeah, I got one. Wanted one even smaller than the size 8 Shimano Speedmaster. Also wanted to see what a lower-end Okuma LD was all about. Little more expensive than the Speedmaster, but seems to be a slightly better reel. Slower ramp-up(better drag range) and less cranking friction at comparable strike-drag settings.
So, I wanted to show a picture of the drain holes on these two. Remove from rod after rinse and place as Dave said for max. draining potential.
