- Close the bail manually and give a little tug on the line to reduce the chance of loops.

It sound like a lot but it will become second nature.

Guess I have to start doing this... thanks for the great advice.

I found that using poppers and pencils helps to make loops in your spool, I do think a swivel helps (I always use one). The only reel that I don't get wind knots in is my VS's.
