I’ve heard from some people that if you use your freshwater gear in salt water, you might want to “purge” it before using it in freshwater again. Where I’ve heard from some other folks who just plain don’t care. Does anyone know exactly how true that is? I know it’s a bit of a dumb question but I can’t find any info on Youtube. Just looking to save myself a couple bucks by using my swimbait rod rather than going out and buying a salt specific rod.

If you want the rod, and especially the reel, to last, clean it after the saltwater use. If you don't care, then start saving money for the replacement.
