Just curious about this. I use a few different types of spinning reels. I know the SHAPE of a spool influences casting distance but also how the line is laid upon the spool when reeled in. My vote for a good system is that of the "older" models of Daiwa SS2600. The line is laid in 5 degree wraps and this reels casts amazingly. The spool is a good shape but I feel the line lay system really helps. My Penn 704 and 706 lay line kind of haphazardly.

Any opinions on your favorite reel in terms of how the line is wrapped on the spool?
