I've found that to much line on the spool can also cause that problem.This happened to me 1st time I used it this year.The shop put WAY to much line on the reel.

You might also check to make sure the line roller is rolling.When the roller is bound up it can cause the line to twist and not lay to evenly on the spool with the end result being a lost plug on the cast.I found this out the hard way.

With a little regular maintenance I find my 704 to be a great reel.

Convert it over to manual pickup,drill some drain holes in the cup and find yourself a metal sideplate and you've got yourself a tank that you'll always be
able to fix yourself.
