So after catching the salmon today,I noticed reel jam.
I would cast ,flip go to wind n would jam for a second then start windinng normally.

First thought it was braid wrapped around eye of rod.
So cast few more times n it would jam a bit every time n def was not braid looping around eye of rod....
Reel is less then year old.

That sucks.

Thought they 8 kg of drag or something,think they would handle salmon

For that budget and size you would expect a salmon to be the least of it's worries. Shimano will surely try and fix the problem.

check your line roller grab a good length of line and pull it up and down over the roller and see/feel if thats working correctly

Cut line ,n just use reel n it sticks in one certain spot,
