I've found that anything under 30 gets to be trouble on baitcasters tossing plugs the size you refer to, and prefer to use 50. The way I see it, it's so thin even at 50 pound it doesn't usually matter to the fish, and if it does I make it up with the length of the leader.
You might try really "underloading" the spool. In fact i'll bet it solves the issue. you will still have more than enough line capacity because the line is so thin.
