Spooling spinning real with mono sans twist - a dumb idea?

[gstott]

The most important thing that I've done in reducing tangles and bird's nests with spinning reels doesn't even have to do with putting line on the reel. If you manually close the bail before your bait hits the water, you will hardly ever get tangles. It's just like with a bait casting reel. If you let the lure hit the water before closing the bail, you will get slack on the spool and it well lead to tangles later.

I also use a line conditioner and I don't over fill the spool.

By doing these things I went from at least one or two nasty tangles a trip to none this entire year that I can recall.
