yup....I instinctively pull the line to make sure things are good every time I close the bail.......2nd nature......also pull the opposite way(just a little tug,tug)before you open the bail to feel if braid is wrapped around the tip of the rod....so you dont have foul ups that way or cast off a beautiful plug....another good thing to do is wet PP or braid on the spool before first cast every time out.......
