Default Re: Spinning reels. Close with handle or hand?

spinning reels were designed to be closed by turning the handle.however it does help prevent wind knots and its quieter by hand,i'm not sure if there is any ill effects to the spring or bail.some makes and designs are more prone to wind knots so tripping them by hand helps.the shimnano spriex 2000s are notorious for wind knots and that damn quick flip trigger is a p.i.t.a as well.
