I've always tried to thumb the flange but it just seems awkward on a reel as large as the 7000. Once the braid is wet I have no problem with it at all. I do however make it a point to thumb the flange on the squidder if I toss bait with a heavy sinker. I don't do it often but I remember the feeling of that mono burning into my thumb while chunking blues once. Never happen again!
