Pull the tag end, wrap it, pull it, repeat while holding it together until it's pulled tight enough to fit into the pocket. Your hands will get sore, and it might take a couple tries. I'm not aware of any tool that makes this easier, sure would be nice if there was one.Once the spool is assembled, I usually wind it up, and just lightly clamp it with a couple squeeze clamps so the spool can't rotate. Those pincher style clamps can work as well, usually doesn't take much. Once the spool is secured, I will fish the rope through and tie it off.</blockquote>
