maybe you're putting too much line on the spool. For the application your using them for (which involves a significant amount of slack in the line), i'd put less line on the reel, leaving at least an 1/8"-1/4" if not a bit more between the line and the lip of the spool. sounds like the line is "jumping" off the spool when it has no tension to hold it on.

50 lb line on a spinning reel is asking for problems IMO, but the 20 should be fine.

Conventional reels would work better all around for what your doing also.
