Fishing spools (5)
I believe the answer is:
reels
'fishing spools' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for reels that I've seen before include "Highland dances" , "Folk dances" , "Rolls of film and dances" , "Scottish dances" , "Staggers about in Irish dances" .)
