This is why it needs to be properly packed. The braid is dug in and locked.  You would have broken this fish off in a micro second.

He said he had issues casting. Here's what I found when I peeled off a bunch of line.
You know that moment when your steak is on the grill and you can already feel your mouth watering.
Do vegans feel the same when mowing the lawn?

looks like the line was loaded by a five year old.  sorry to be so harsh, but this stuff is basic.   >:(

   I think this loose, sloppy loading of braid is what turns so many against it. I have even been repacking it after fishing trips. When properly loaded and maintained it will last years...at least for my type fishing. 8)

JEEZZZZZ!!!!!!!!  how in the world did you see that???????  

yeah, it's rubbing.  i actually have the same problem in some of my reels.  i think what's involved is that the spool shaft is too flexible.  mind you, it's after 10pm here on the west coast.  yes, that means is scotch time!!!!  if i was going to stuck on a desert island and could have only one scotch, this would be it!  an 18 year old laphroig will always be my favorite, but it's one glass and done.  the lagavulin i could drink all night!

When braid looks like that does it mean it slipped?

Personally I would have a hard time accepting that on any of my reels. But this is another big reason why a smaller narrower reel is best if it will be pushed or leaned on hard when it will work for the task at hand... Jeff
