Using fishing-reel-specific grease and oils, apply them to the proper working components. This will allow the working components of the reel to do their job at all times without failing.
When storing a reel, you always want to make sure that the reel is dry. Hopefully, you kept the book that came with the reel when it was purchased. This book will show you every working part of the reel and inform you which areas should be lubricated. Only tear the reel apart completely if you feel 100 percent confident that you can put it back together properly. If not, only take off the housing on a baitcaster and the spool on a spinning reel. Using fishing-reel-specific grease and oils, apply them to the proper working components. The general rule of thumb is to grease the gears, and apply the oil lubricants to every other moving part. This will allow the working components of the reel to do their job at all times without failing. If you want to tear the reel apart to make sure that every component is clean, cover your working surface with an old t-shirt, so you can see every small piece that you remove and soak up any grease or oils. Take one section apart at a time, and place it on the rag in the same way it will go back together. Once everything is clean, put the components back together in reverse order.
Reels
If you want to tear the reel apart to make sure that every component is clean, cover your working surface with an old t-shirt, so you can see every small piece that you remove and soak up any grease or oils.
All fishing line should be removed from the reel after each season. If you use the same line year-to-year, you are taking a big chance that the line could weaken or damage,

depending on where it is stored. Removing the line also prevents moisture from building up in the line causing the reel to become damaged. Fly lines require more maintenance. Without maintenance, most fly lines will crack and no longer float properly within a year. With maintenance, the line will perform like new for several years. At least 3 or 4 times a year, you should remove the line from the reel and clean it in warm soapy water to remove dirt build up. Avoid using dish soap. Instead, use natural hand soap or baby shampoo. After the line dries and after every few outings, sparsely apply a line dressing. Apply the line dressing to a clean rag, and run the line through it. This will allow the line to shoot through the guides much quicker, allowing the angler to cast with more ease.
