It is possible if you are using a one handed strip retrieve you are inducing some kind of twisting to the line in the basket. Particularly if the first couple of dozen casts seem ok. Try a two handed retrieve with the reel tucked under your armpit and see if it eliminates the twisting. One bad habit I have is leaving my strung up rods in the car which gets quite warm during the day. The older Airflos I use tend to get "tacky" and stick together. this I consider to be my fault not he line's.
