Short answer, yes. If it was submerged in saltwater, a good desalination might be good. If it was just used to fish saltwater and not submerged, probably unnecessary. Regardless of reason or method, always add some lubricant to friction points/gears/bearings after cleaning.

That is exactly what you should do. Crank your drag up fully to reduce water intrusion into your drag stack and gently shower it down with warm water, wipe around important areas and then finally, allow to drip dry. You should also do this to your rods guides too.

Yes,unless you fully got it wet in the saltwater,in which case you need to open it up and do a much more thorough cleaning and re lubing/oiling.

You should rinse rods and reels after every use in saltwater.

Is it a Fuego? If so, it has Magsealed main shaft, which provides protection from water and dirt intrusion into the reel’s internals, particularly around the anti-reverse clutch, but it is not a completely sealed or waterproof.
