Thanks for the advice. I'm beginning to think roller bearing also. I assume the roller spins around this bearing thus reducing the "drag" I'm feeling as I wind in the lure?

I normaly only use Shimano spinning reels and I had a Shimano Symetry previous but my braided line (power pro 14 lb) kept hanging up on the bail arm rather than seating properly on the roller. I think that type of line has some waxy substance on it that wouldn't allow it to slide over the bail arm properly on initail take up. I could even see a geen residue on the bail arm. When I set the hook it would flip the bail open. Frustrating as you could imagine.
