Spool on a fishing rod (4)

I believe the answer is:

reel

(Other definitions for reel that I've seen before include "Fishing rod attachment" , "Air" , "Move unsteadily (like a Scottish dancer?)" , "spin" , "The angler pulls in his line using this" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the Newsday.com.
