Yikes, three 120 rolls in the same can!
i have scanned a shoot from my contact. I have pushed a little contrast so as to show the problem: brown traces at the top of the image.
Looks like a contaminated reel or you have used not enough liquid chemicals in the tank. Take notice of the minimum volume of your Paterson tank which is slightly more than you need for a Jobo system.
Ive suffered this annoying problem before and came to the conclusion that it resulted from my previously using a rinse aid in the final wash, and my not washing the reels afterwards. This creates excessive foaming in the developer that results in air bubbles that no amount of tank rapping will dislodge. I take extra care to wash reels after use, and havent had a reoccurrence.

Is a pre-soak recommended? Would this also help flush the tank?
I have tried this, particulary when my tank is a little cold, to attain a suitable temperature before the dev is put in. I have wondered if it can make a difference to the development.
