It's got to be an issue with the 50# Trilene braid. I made a long cast today in the grass that emptied the spool of line down to the tape and paced it out to 180ish feet and 70 turns of the handle 8:1 to recover all the line. That's barely 60 yards. The stuff must run big in diameter.

I have 50# Sufix 832 and I've only got about 75 yards of line on my Citica's.

I think you need more line and that's all.
I have been using PE Special 6.3 for almost 5/6 years with shallower spool, IZE Zillion PE Long cast spool... (Hyperion Braid 16x, Pe5 = 70-75m ).
Back to the righty and just managed to get another PE Special 2 days ago and it was still brand new
