I use a conventional and certaunly do let out lots of line. I don't just let it run though. I'm controlling how fast the line gets let out to keep the jig bouncing on the bottom but not getting snagged. If you can just let line out without stopping and starting the free spooling , you are probably not close enough to the bottom.
People do the same with spinners. I'm sure some of the guys who use spinners will chime in. If not I'll tell you how they do it but its best if someone like Mike or Slip describes it to you as they do it all the time.
