Brand new spooled up reels have done this to me so far this year. From the research I've done most people say it's from getting a deep backlash and it cutting into the line. I never cast off but when picking out a back lash or on a far cast I see the break and will just hand reel back in.
Anything besides backlash cause this? When it happened Sunday I had used the rod for maybe 5 casts so I'm not entirely sure it's purely backlash.
As a side note I have been spool the reels as suggested previously. I have also checked for damaged guided or rod spurs.

It doesn't have to be a full backlash to cause this. Just having a couple loose loops on your reel so that when you cast out you hear the loose loops getting struck by the line coming off the reel will cause a weak spot or even a break in those loops.
The ONLY other thing I can think of is that Shawneramone is sneaking into your garage at night, pulling line off your reels, cutting your line, then reeling in the cut line. He then follows you to your favorite honey hole, hides in the woods and laughs hysterically when you cast off your favorite bait.
If i was a betting man, i wold go with option 2

Funny thread! As I have been preparing my gear for this season I have noticed last seasons line (Suffix Mono) has some serious checking in it and a bad curl from sitting I would imagine, down inside the spool where I would not have expected it to be... Anyway, What are some of the line preferences ( mono - flouro) brands,What performance do you see that makes you like it.
Just wondering, does anyone else use Suffix brand products and have you noticed the curl? I noticed it starting toward the end of last years season.

Stratos still hasn't figured out how lazy I really am.
You are a closet over achiever. I have seen the effort you put into some of your videos. For the right reward, you have motivation
Busted. I'd only put that much effort into sabotaging Sam's gear. Maybe I'd get to out fish him then
