Attach the fly reel to the fly rod using only the butt section of the rod if it is two pieces or more. Take the tag end of the backing and run it through the rod guides and attach it to the reel spool or arbor with the appropriately named arbor knot. To do this, first make a basic overhand knot around the line.
1 For a spinning reel, a good way to spool the line is to take a soft cotton cloth and hold the line in the cloth at about the first eye. 2  Apply a good amount of tension, so the line does not spool loose, and you can real as fast as you like. Tighten the knot around the reel, and closely trim the excess line from the end. 2  Note: if you're using very low diameter line and don't want the bulk of a knot, use electrical tape to secure the line to the reel. 3  Close the bail.
