Capricious about initially spending a night dancing reels, etc. (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
fishing tackle
'reels etc' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'capricious about initially spending a night dancing' is the wordplay.
'capricious' becomes 'fickle' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'dancing' indicates anagramming the letters.
The first letter of 'spending' is 's'.
's'+'a'+'night'='sanight'
'sanight' anagrammed gives 'shingta'.
'fickle' placed around 'shingta' is 'FISHING-TACKLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fishing tackle that I've seen before include "Angling equipment" , "Angler's kit" , "Equipment required to catch a trout, for example" , "Angler's equipment" , "Hook, line and sinker" .)
