    If it's not the roller - I'd check the guides on the rod, might have a nick. Take a Q-Tip and run it around the inside of the guides, the 'fluff' of the Q-Tip will hang up on a nick.

     

    More often than not, fraying line is a rod issue, not a reel issue.

    This is true.

     

    If it is the reel it would be from one of the points in contact with the line. The roller, the bail wire or the lip of the spool. Check those areas for any rough spots.

    How old is the line?  If there are no stuffs on the lip of the spool, or the roller or the guides on the rod, I'd venture to guess that old age could be the culprit.  Or maybe, where have you been fishing?  Abrasion against vegetation and woody/brushy cover can cause line fraying.
