Casting 25# Braid

I was out testing my ProRocket reel yesterday using 25# test Power Pro Braid, and lost two Tattoo lures due to break offs in mid cast.

I noticed that the line was getting caught inside the gap at the edge of the spool... and subsequently breaking off with the momentum of the cast.

Does anyone else experience similar problems with the Pro Rocket?...

Or am I simply misadjusting the tension on the spool?

I thought I had it set just right...

I am considering going to a heavier line for more diameter, but I don't want to sacrifice too much on the distance for casts...

Does monofilament work any better on these?

Or should I consider going to heavier braid?

I prefer to stick with the braid, but cannot afford to intermittently lose lures when the line decides to ride up into the edge of the spool!

I'm hoping the larger diameter line would prevent this from happening...
