Not everything holds up well to submersion, the one reel that really doesn't mind is the sealine-x.
It's mostly down to if you're getting sand deep into the reel, and if you've taken preventative measures.
I like to fill all non-spool bearings with grease, and take the same heavy grease and fill many parts of the reel. Search Alan Tani, he is an excellent servicer of saltwater reels.
The 4 gallon backpack sprayer I use gets too much use in the yard to be double-use, so I usually end up doing what Matt does if I don't find an active sprinkler before I leave (usually not too difficult at the times/places I fish).
Even filling the reel with grease like Alan does is not enough if you don't service them periodically, so clean it out from time-to-time and fill with the fresh stuff if you want it to last.
Sand is an automatic re-lube.
