Abu 401 cut my braid!

[Randy]

When I bought a rod from Lebaron, it broke within weeks while I was just setting the drag at home, I took it to Lebaron and the front piece of the rod replaced with no questions asked.

On my last fishing trip my reel started doing something similar, I have the Mitchell Avocet II Gold 4000. I noticed the line stopped reeling in and my line was stuck, then it got cut right inside the groove at the edge of the line roller where it meets the bail arm. I kept fishing though until it had been cut about 4 times when I decided it wasn't a one time occurrence, losing lots of my line. I've been using the same reel since last year spooled with the same line from then and all of a sudden on this outing, it started sticking and getting cut. Does anyone know what causes this problem and if/how it can be fixed?
