busted plastic spools on trolling reels

[23rd century]

Anyone had a problem with plastic spools side bust out and lock up the reel? I've had 2 in the last couple of weeks.

One is a Daiwa AD27LC and the other is an Okuma MD20X. We do keep the planer boards in line and don't let them slide back to the fish so there's a lot of tension at first and we're still moving over 2 mph.

Never had any problem. I use Magda Pro 20d and 30d. Make sure you keep them oiled.
