Tgey do great in bags with no toplayer.
As far as im concerned a casing is a toplayer. There are many types of casings, peat, straw, coir. If it goes on top and serves the purpose of a casing (microclimate, water retention, ect...) than it is one 
When you say low spawn/sub are you talking 1:3ish or more like 1:6?

For those of you that spawn to bags, do you add a top layer? These xls-a bags are 2ft long and it looks like it'd be tough to spread a top layer. Any tips for working with grow bags? Thanks.

No top layer in the bags. Just mix your spawn and sub, level the top, and wait

Is that because it's tough to do or some other reason? I'm just used to covering exposed grains. Thanks.

Why are you concerned with covering exposed grains?

I've seen multiple TC's cite that as one of the reasons for a top layer.

Out of curiosity, is it because it's a pita to create, or is there another reason? Thanks.

no, its pretty easy to throw in a toplayer in a bag. if by toplayer you mean a peat casing then that's totally unnecessary for melmaks. I just havent found it necessary or beneficial.

It's all up for debate to be honest, I have tubs cased and uncased. Exposed grain shouldn't be a concern if the grain is colonized.

Im talking about bags. melmak in tubs i'll add a toplayer.
exposed grains are fine for lots of varieties but some definitely perform better with one and conditions play a role as well like say bags vs tubs

The main reason I use top layers is to keep the surface from drying but that’s not as much of an issue in bags.
