FWIW: You might want to carefully check each rod guide with a Q tip. Try from both sides.
Run it all the way around the ring - the light fiber of the Q tip will snag if the guide has a nick in it.
I had a bad guide - nick was on the part of the guide the line did not touch when reeling in. My guess - the line hit the nick when casting , putting nicks along the braid.
Drove me crazy ( short drive there ) until I took a Q tip to the guides. The nick was tough to see but Q tip caught in it right away.
