I think that....... The drag knob sides are cylindrical and as I cast the line the braid prescribes an acr and when I wind as the bail arm goes over there is enough slack line to allow the 1st loop to wind around the knob ...if I had noticed at this point I could save it but......so it winds around the knob untill there is no more room and then drops down and winds onto the spool as normal, and this really complicates things as trying to get the line off the spool is easy but then trying to unwind braid that has now come off the knob as per pic just doesnt happen, and there is now braid lying all over the place from where I unloaded the spool .
So I now after the cast I wind handle to get the bail arm to go over and then swing the rod back a bit to tighten the line and then wind on as normal . If that drag knob had a bit of taper on the sides it wouldnt happen and being as it chrome plated plastic ( has a metal insert ) trimming a bit off it probly wont work .
