I keep my left hand next to the spool and feather the line like a thumb on a baitcaster. You can be just as precise with a spinning rig this way, and your hand is right there to close the bail after each cast. For "all out" casts, I still have my hand there as it's the habit I've aquired, I just don't feather. My hand is still there to close the bail. THAT is the best habit to have when using spinning gear. I agree that this will remove most of the line twist issues, given that a spinning rig and it's rollers function properly. I use the Shimano Spirex line of reels as I prefer the rear drag option to the front drag. These reels have been awesome with not putting line twist in the spool. Keep em clean, keep em oiled/lubed and they keep me fishing.
