Your better off using something like:

Carls drag grease - for drags

If its a penn Ht-100 drag i found that dry is better - use a strong de-greaser  (I use one for cars)

Other parts - reel lube or white lithium spray (its rust resistant) 

If your telescopic rod is stuck - silicon spray / ice 

Wd40 is good at removing water out of things it isn't a good lubricator

I've had a few arguments about that over the years and agree but, make that 'WD40 Multi-Use' (WD40 make a range of sprays, including some that lubricate)

From their website:

How was WD‑40® Multi-Use Product invented?

It was invented when a small company call Rocket Chemical Company set out to create a line of rust prevention solvents and degreasers for use in the Aerospace industry.

Solvents and degreasers are not lubricants. I can't say  

For those who beach walk and carry gear in a backpack, Teflon spray is a dry lubricant. Fine sand won't stick and it should help reduce metal oxidisation jamming the zipper. The same spray is more than likely good for use on metal ferrules and reel seats (but I am in a habit of running the male end of a ferrule through my hair and using nothing on reel seats).
