this happened to me once, I found that I had tied the slip knot on backwards. I am sure you checked for this.
I have to double check mine to make sure I did it right before continuing to spin on the line. you will see right away. I still oops it from time to time, even when I thought I got it on right the first time and end up having to cut it and retie...
on rare ocations if you cut the tail of your knot to short it can slip untied after some presher is aplyed. so I test my knots for that now as well, cutting the tail to short is my biggest oops as of lately but with my double check it shows up quick now and I am good for the season....
if you find an open feild or lake or river you can let the line out and retie with out giving up your line.
if you are using a bait caster be sure it is your line slipping on the barrol and not the barrol spinning because you bumped your drag setting some how and is loosened to the point it just slips off....
I dont know if any of these are what you are experiencing but these are common accurances among even pro anglers.
