I use whatever the reel manufacurers recommend for their reel, it may be silicone based, or have other lubricants added to it.  It is usually a relatively clear type of lubricant (grrease).  Wiping down othe parts, I usually end up using WD-40.

Mark,
what type of lubricant do you use?

  I usually remove any lubricant and replace with new, since the old lubricant can reatain particles of salt and/or sand which could damage the reel.

Salt Water Addicts,

I just returned from my first salt water fishing - report still to write.
Now I'm wondering, how I should take care of my equipment. I've already
discovered rust on some not so important things - the hemostats got a
bit of rust and a nipper. Very quick, Mr. rust.

My questions:

What to do with the rods, I used? Anything to do with the rods, which I
didn't use. They were in a seperate container, which I didn't opend -
but they were probably exposed to moist air.
Same question to reels?
I rinsed and dried all my flies, which I fished, before I returned them
to my fly boxes. More actions suggested?
Should I rinse my fly boxes?
Nipper and Zinger?

Other thoughts?

Thanks a lot
Rene
