If the fish is running towards me, I do reel. Of course, if the fish is running towards me, it's not taking drag and the issue of line twist doesn't come into the picture.

My drag might be set loose. My feeling is, I have this ingenius little system known as a fishfinder on my line that lets fish take the line without feeling the weight, why screw that up with a tight drag?

This all comes down to how you set your drag. A fish has to take line right? Otherwise she's going to pull the rod down the beach or feel the rod and let go. That means your drag has to be set. That means the fish is taking line. Now you are saying you reel to set the hook. A spinning drag + reeling line= Line Twist.
