Seems most of the new Shimano's are crap! I stick with the pre 2010 models or order from Japantackle.com. I have found the japanese domestic models hold up a lot longer than whats being sold now at local store.

I fish a lot and my reels stay wet due to kayaking and wading, I've never had a spool do that
