You know, the twisting isn't that big a deal. It's only going to get you into trouble if there is slack in the line, and you don't ever want slack in a line anyway (it doesn't take twists to create knots and messes).
I hadn't thought about it, but James is, as usual, right; I DO use the double-ender when I'm in drygloves, because handling line in dry gloves is tricky (you can't feel it very well). But with bare hands, I just wind with my fingers.
If doing something in the theoretically perfect way is going to make it difficult to keep a schedule or keep a team together, I'll go for suboptimal and fixable any day. But in reality, despite not being particularly religious about rewinding spools, I have yet to have a single even minor problem related to the way I spool up, except that the spools don't look pretty.

) went much smoother, but still awkward. Probably something I should practice more.
