Cleaning is your responcibility. being that it is only a couple months old, it is not due for a cleaning unless you have layed it in the sand, dropped it in to the lake, thrown it in to the back of a dirty trunk ect....

another thing that causes line to snap on casting is if the pins on the spinner head do not fully retract whan you press the casting button in. this can also be caused be line wrapped around the inside post of the spinner head.
when you press on the cast button, the pins should not be felt when you rub your fingers or hand over the pins.
the pins may not feel sharp, they dont have to be razer sharp to cut.
where I am sending you, you will be able to look at that as well.
