You probably need some lubrication. Normally maintenance is carried out after a season if you're taking care of your reels-that is if you rinse them and de-salt. If your reel gets dunked in the water then an inspection should be done right away and maintenance done if needed. A lot of maintenance tips can be found in this site. Check them out.
