[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 496092, member: 3438"] Shimano has had binding in some of their older models. I have had it in Symetre FI and FJ models. But none of the Stratics. My understanding is there is a plastic bushing that absorbs moisture over time. Mine were good for years, but started noticing some binding after an hour or two of use. Noticed it happening more if it was raining or high humidity. What I noticed was when you stop reeling for a few seconds, when you restart reeling, it took more effort to get it started. I only have one “good” Symetre and three in the parts bin. I’ve heard that you can “sand out” the inside of the bushing. It will fix it for a while, but will come back. I haven’t bothered trying it.
