Default Bowfishing Drum Reel

I just started bowfishing last year, and I bought a simply bowfishing package that included a drum reel. It works ok, but every so often, the line will wrap around the bolt attaching it to my bow, and snap my line off. It really gets annoying when that happens, and I'm wondering if there is any way I can avoid that. Because I need to have extra slack in my line, it sometimes is able to get looped around that bolt. Do you think that a safety slide on my arrows would make a difference? Is there anything else I could do to my reel to make it more reliable? Thanks in advance for any advice, and good shooting everyone.
