Subject: Any Cold Weather Reel Tips Out There?

My Garcia 5500s and 5600s get weird when temps are around freezing and the chilly wind she is blowing snow and rain. For example, one 5500 seems to forget it's suppose to be instant anti-reverse. Another wants to backlash every third cast. Youse guys have any tips to help reels behave in cold weather?
