Re: 525 mag xtra
All I can say is maybe its the line diameter coupled with maybe a little too much spool float. Suffix, what are you doing?! The 15lb 0.35mm Tritanium is still the best line I've ever used for fishing and I'm down to my last half a spool. Try emptying the reel and adjusting the side knob until there is a barely perceptible lateral movement from your spool. Thats where it should be, any looser can lead to bother.

Re: 525 mag xtra
.30 is far too thin for a 525.
.37 or .38 is perfect and remember to slightly under fill. The 525 can be lively so set it up right from the start and have no problems ever.
Best all round reel out there IMO.
