ME TOO! man, at first I thought I was forgetting to push the button, but four arrows later I am CERTAIN it isnt the button pushing. My line is reeling into itself on the spool if that makes sense, makes it hard for the line to freely spool out and when pulled on by a speeding arrow, the line snaps away from the arrow and it goes skipping across the water. very frustrating. I am to the point of getting a Thumper reel just to see if it will solve my issues. I LOVE fighting fish on the reel setup, but heck, if I cant keep from loosing arrows left and right Ill be switching back to my bottle retriever.
