I had the same problem with my 200. W/ Topwater stuff. 20lb mono though. Got it re spooled and took it out into a field and gave it a good stretch, before using. No problems since. Also switched over from Big Game to Backcountry.
With braid though, I would say to cast it around with some heavier stuff first before using pencils etc. And let the braid get worn in. And better yet hook some fish
May also want to check if there is any play in the main shaft...
