I agree with David, the same happened to me.

But as an aside, centrifugal force is fictitious.

If I had said the line was unreeling due the greater tension from using
heavier line brought about by constraining rotating objects having a
tendency to continue their motion in a straight line in accordance with
Newton's laws of motion, would it have helped any more in the given
situation? So I said centrifugal force and everybody knew what I meant.

There there, I was just being cheeky .
