I have a Daiwa EmblemX 6000T spinning reel and am experiencing two problems.

1. The spool travel is so great that sometimes at the end of a cast I can't close the bail because the spool is extended too far out on the shaft to allow the bail to close. So I have to recapture some line (letting the spool retract down the shaft a bit), to close the bail.

2. I've had a couple of break-offs right at the spool (near the roller) when I go to set the hook. Despite the fact that it has 80# PowerPro. Something is cutting right through the line. I've checked the roller and can't find a problem. Also, all the guides are good with no sharp edges or nicks.

Any ideas?

(I'm not a big fan of Daiwa spinning reels, but I got this one at a very good price a couple of years ago from Cabelas.)

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
