I always pull a quick length off the reel, then run my hand quickly over the spool to make sure its clear and then manually flip the bail. It is quick, easy and cuts down on "wind knots" almost totally for me.

I do that and I get maybe 1 windknot a year & that's when I'm tring to throw a very light lure into the wind.
