I see that about once every other trip now, and have learned to muscle the line back the way it went in. The real is so good I can tolerate that flaw.

I'm wondering though if they should be greased every so often. Mine go in the water often as that's the easiest way to get to a tangled rod tip sometimes. One of them seems to turn a little rough and I've been meaning to hunt down the proper lube.
