Good point Tagger.
I do this on my newells wide crosses with the tumb.makes more of a crossing pettern an keeps the line from digging in as much.Level winds are not really any good with braids under 50 lbs for this reason.the neat windings of the level wind allow for the braid to dig in pretty deep when a lot of pressure is applied to the line like when hung up.
