Binding issue with older shimanos

[glasseyes]

Some of the older Shimano's would bind after getting wet. I had this happen to both a Stradic and a Symetre.

I can't comment on the newer models cuz my last four have all been Daiwa's.

I have had this issue with every Shimano reel own, and one of them, a Sahara 3000FE was less than 6 months old, I was fishing in the rain all day and towards end of day it started like binding up , I to would like to know whats causing this.
