Default Ever burned your thumb on the spool?

A couple of days ago, I bought a Quantum Accurist PT. It's nice - hope it's worth the money. I paired it with a mh 6'6" rod. Anyway, the first time I used it, I started out fishing with lite jigs. Then, I put a heavier lipless crank on just to test out how far I could cast with the reel. I don't know why, but on the first cast, the spinning spool burned my thumb. It actually left two parallel thin burn marks on my thumb. I immediately wanted to take my thumb off the spool when I felt it but didn't because I figured a burned thumb is not as bad as the backlash that would have occurred.
