Yes.... Low cost kids reel. I have two of them but this only occurs on one.

8-10# mono;

8-10 pound mono; The kids reel came persppoled for our pleasure with 2 lbs test.... Kids and 2lbs test don't work well; Peeled off all the line on the rods and replace with 8 or 10 lb mono (can not remember which); Some days I am tempted to give them 15 or 20#

It was freshly spooled 2 years ago. No major signs on memory in the line.

not sure what this means.... Did you just string together some fishing jargon

That comes after (for me not the kids )

I take great care, and pride, in stringing together loquacious, superfluous and quite unrelated fishing jargon,....... and have found that at times it actually makes sense and fools many......... I think…. Perhaps…

Your answers clearly reveal all – the root cause & problem is obvious - you'll need to get a new son.

Tip – don’t take him hunting.

0r……………. just watch him next time for a short while – my guess is that he’s letting slack loops get in behind the rotor cup and it’s getting caught up in the swirly thingee.

Cheers,
