Is loaded with fishing equipment (5)

I believe the answer is:

reels

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fishing equipment' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reels that I've seen before include "performed by dancers" , "Spools" , "Old film parts" , "Goes round and round" , "Scottish dances" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
