I am using Eagle Claw at 15 lb test,


That could be part of the problem. 15 pound test is pretty heavy line for
spinning tackle and I'm not sure what diameter the line is. Remember that
the larger the line's diameter, the less inclined the line will be to
conform to the spool and the more likely it will be to spring off the
spool, especially if you're using a smaller spinning reel with a smaller
diameter spool. The heaviest line I'll ever use on a spinning reel is 12
pound, and usually I'm using 4 to a max. of 10 pound.

I use 12lb flourcarbon on one of my spinning reels and its always a
challenge. I've found the best thing I can do (if I remember) is to respool
when I came back in from fishing and let the reel sit for a couple days
rather than respooling the night before. That isn't always an option.
Blakemoore Reel Magic sprayed on the line helps a little, but not as much as
just letting set on the reel for a couple days.
