Hi Tony,
This is simply happening due to bad reel to bed knife adjustment, in other words too much of a gap between the two components which is simply allowing the antenna heads to slide between the two and not be cut off.
I'm not sure what state your reel and bed knife are in, maybe you can enlighten us about it, but if it hasn't been done in quite some time then you'll need to get both sharpened and re-installed with the correct adjustment so that this doesn't happen again any time soon.
Cheers,
BB.
