Check your guides (especially the tip) Often the guide insert will crack (hit a rock, car door, or cast a barrel swivel through it). Sometimes you can't even see it, however run a cotton swab through the eye and see if it tugs on any of the cotton fibers. If so, replace the eye and your mystery will be history.
