Have you opened it ?
Dunk a reel, let it sit and the water evaporates.all thats left is sand and salt crystals. It will freeze it up quick. If it sits this way for too long the gears will corrode and disintegrate if you try and crank them when they don't want to move. Open it, clean it if isn't broke and lube with some reel lube. Check the anti reverse when you are in there. That's the little clip with the wing that has a spring. It is the bain of that model.
I switched to the slammers a couple of years ago. They take a dunking and as long as you don't wait to long can be cleaned quick. I have had them running perfectly for 3 years now. the 460 or 560 would compliment the 5500.
Tell me how you make out...
