Yeah I am using PP braid. I had the reel serviced by them this past winter. It seems fine but you can feel/see the indent. I don't think it is suppose to be there as one side has one in the middle of the roller, the other side has two that are not centered or symmetrical. I first thought it was just a mark from the braid but you can feel it with your nail if you stick your finger in there and scrape it across the roller. I sent an email to them.
Too many problems with those things. And from what I've seen and heard customer service is terrible. The bugs should have been worked out well before the price tag.
I will give them a call today. As far as the reel goes I have had no real problems with it. IMO this is pretty minor. The service was fine, slower than Shimano's but fine otherwise. My biggest gripes are the handle and the stiff feel. What I like most about it is the performance in the sandy water and its drag. It ranks high in terms of reliability from what I see. All machinery needs maintenance.
They are sending (UPSing) me 2 new ones today (free). That sounds like decent customer service.
They said they were surprised to hear that as so far have only had 1or 2 line rollers come back for wear like that. I told her I would send the old ones back for them to look at.
