If you use an open face spinning reel, especially a small UL , you know that occasionally the line reel will shoot off an extra loop of line which can cause a messy tangle. This seems to happen to me most often shooting docks because I often skip the jig across the water to the back of the dock. I think the erratic speed of the jig skipping across the water is what contributes to getting a loose loop every now and then.
The closed face trigger spins are excellent for this but a lot are really cheaply made, however the Pflueger models are very good and work well for dock shooting and you don't have the loose coils to deal with. Might want to look at them. They come pre-spooled so the first think I do is take that line off and put on some 4 or 6 lb. fresh limp line and it works like a dream. Those pre-spooled reels may have been sitting for a couple of years and the line has taken a set and is just not worth hassling with.
This is the model I have but they make several sizes so you can match to your needs. http://www.fishusa.com/Product/Pflue...Underspin-Reel
