Honestly? I usually have the guys at the flyshop load my reels. They do it for free, and usually throw in the backing for no extra charge. they have little machines that can load the reel in a few minutes. If you've already purchased the line, take it and the reel back to the store and ask them to load it for you.

otherwise....see the hole in the middle of the spools of both backing and line? stick a pencil in those and have someone hold the pencil on both ends while you wind the backing and line to your reel. secure backing to the bare reel using an arbor knot. secure line to backing using an albright.

good luck and tight lines!

Yes. Then come to PA (if you don't already live in our lovely state) and fish at some overly popularized but relatively crappy stream like Brodhead Creek or the Big Bushkill, or drop a couple hunny and fish the "Miracle Mile" or whatever it's called on Paradise Creek. Make sure you flush too, because whatever uppity resort you stay at just treats the water and discharges it back into the same watershed! The cycle is complete!
