I have XTA Longcast Big Baitrunners.
The floating shield should prevent line ingress in the first instance.
Is this fitted ?
I have had no problems with mine.

The type of line guard that are on the shims and many Daiwa has always been poor, you have to learn to manage the line by keeping it under control. My ISOs and Liner Xs have the same issue.

The Tournies and Older style Emblems has the best line guard mechanisms imo although not completely faultless.

It's a pain, you'll just have to learn to keep the line under tension and manage it.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
