I think the idea if you keep the line roller at 8 o'clock (which I think of as being 10 o'clock (see earlier comment) on the cast, the line is always easy to pickup. Also note that there is no 'bail' but just a line roller on the model he's demonstrating.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
