1. I use a zip tie near the top of pole. Red for starboard, green for port. Then with lure on I hook to zip tie. 2. Holding line tight I pull the line from the zip tie to the reel and wrap the loose line around the reel, keeping reel Handel free. The dipsy should be about 1/2 length from top. 3. Now most of line is wrapped around reel with dipsey kinda loose and dangling, use the handle and tighten it up but leave some slack. 4. Place butt of pole on deck, wrap the dipsy one time around the pole, line and all, tuck the dipsy between the line and pole . Stays nice and reversing it to deploy is a cinch.
