VS Question.
Ive been using one for the last couple of seasons and always wondered if the line roller has a groove in it by design of it i grooved it with my line.
Everything is better on the rocks.

when you want it to. If it starts to fray the braid bad its time. I had the deepest line groove in my roller but it didn't really cause any problems due to break-offs.

I kinda like it actually.

There should be a slight depression, or groove as some call it, in the roller if I am not mistaken. Mine have always had one even on brand new rollers.
