IMO: My narrower spool reels, like my VSX150 and Z20, handle braid better (meaning no wind knotting) than my wider spool reels. Could this be because the deeper wraps have to "uncover" first from the upper wraps during the cast dynamics?

I do all my line handling and spooling myself using a drill system I built for the purpose. I should have invested in a professional system as used in the tackle shops, but these are quite expensive. I would never advise "crank it on" spool filling on a spinning reel. Okay, of course, with a conventional reel IF you do the crank on OUTSIDE any level wind mechanism.

My observation and critique of tackle shop filling is that they do it way too fast, and ? not enough tension.
