actually stick grip handle, anybody have a solution for older shimano reels that the rubber handle gets sticky?

How about some thin shrink tubing. 

The village, which had stood for maybe 1,000 years, didn't know we were coming that day. If they had, they would have run. boB was at the eye of our rage. And through him, our Captain Ahab. He would set things right again. That day, we loved him.

There is no going back. The soft plastic will continue to breakdown and soften. Only solution is to replaced the knob.  Sadly, this happens to the fuji soft touch reel seat also, on those, you have scrape all the top soft touch layer away.

Type B knob.  Lots of Type B knobs on the market.  Or just order any newer factory Shimano SW knobs above size 8000 and any conventional.  
 

example. From a new gosa swa 18000

Directly from shimano parts shop. link is on their site. 
 

ease of maintenance cause this knob uses bushings.  About $35~
