Baitcasting problems. This is pissing me off

i recently bought a "shimano cruxis" baitcasting reel, and have been using it fine for about a month. whell i left it outside for a night, and when i went to reel it in the next day, it sounded and felt as if it had sand in the reel. It IS very clean, but it feelt as if it seized up.

I got some berkly oil and grease. i only greased the bearings and what not, but i went to cast it later and it only went like 10 feet. ( i can normally cast very far with this reel) so it feels like there is a magnetic brake on really bad. but i know there isnt. also when i have a weighted lure on and i click the thumb release button, my lure decsends slowly rather than dropping fast like it used to. so obviously it has something to do with the spool.

Does it need oil? grease? i hope somebody can help... thanks
