I found a reply by Slipknot to an old post stating that many braids tend to slide across the roller rather than roll and that the best option would be Fireline, still don't know if the sliding braid will damage the roller eventually but I guess I'll switch it up to Fireline and get a new roller to be safe, maybe this will help someone in the future with the same issue/question....
I hose my Power Pro with silicone spray. Makes it cast better, no wear on guides and rollers, and the occasional wind knot comes right out.

thanks BBJ, that makes sense, might help prolong the life of the line as well? this setup was working so well for me for light stuff that I was bummed to realize that the roller wasn't doing it's thing, I guess it's always something...
I have noticed when spooling my 710 with new 20 lb fireline that the roller wasn't rolling. Fireline has a break-in period and the color and coating sort of wear out and the line becomes more limp and less wirey. I have meant to look to see how it is handling now that the line has some trips under it's belt but when I am out there it is too dark. Lots of people using fireline on this reel I wouldn't worry too much, just keep an eye on it.
