Always soak in warm water after using in salt water.

Sorry, but I don't see any reason or benefit to soaking a reel. Seems like it would do more harm than good, with Salt-Away or otherwise.

Hell, I just lay my rods on the deck and rinse them off with the hose. No issues after several years

X 2 I've never heard of a manufacturer's instructions to soak a reel. The goal is to keep water out. I rinse then wipe them down, oil as needed.

OP, are you sure it wasn't dried braided line sticking together?
