If using a 3 hook trace I will put the 1st 2 hooks on one edge of the winder and the last hook on the opposite edge. This way I know which hook to remove 1st.
This method has never failed me.
I tend to put 2 hook rigs and pullys etc in a rig wallet and never had problems with them tangling badly, well nothing a minute or 2 wont sort anyhow.

I have heard a lot of lads complaining about getting their rigs tangled when unwinding from rig winders like the tronix rig winders.You all know what a pain in the a**e it is when you're into fish and just lost a gear and when you go unwind another rig and it ends up in a ball of s**te...... "I have a simple solution",.....
I start by winding on the top swivel first keeping everything taught until you have the top swivel covered and secured. Continue winding down the length of the rig including the snood. When you come to the hook simply wind the rig body around the hook shaft a couple of times stick the hook into the winder and continue to the next hook and do the same. If using a three hook flapper with a trailing hook just continue winding and stick the hook into the lip of the winder so you'll know which hook to start unwinding first.
When using three hook clipped rigs what I do is pass the hook through the cascade swivel eye this secures it to the main body and stick the hook into the winder.This saves the rig body from getting kinked.
When unwinding I hold the winder between my forefinger and thumb unhook the last hook (the one stuck in the lip for identification purposes) pull and hey presto your rig should come off in as one piece.
I have used this system for years and found it fool proof
The only drawback with this is the rig body gets a little kinked but a good pull usually irons out this problem.
