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?

Yikes! Maybe check the tightness of the screw that goes through the line roller, or keeps it tightened up. Perhaps the screw loosened creating a gap for the line to get stuck in. ??
