Just bought a couple of the telescoping crappie poles. They have a tip guide, but no other guides.

How is the best way to tie a line to them?
Pass it through the tip, spiral it around the pole and tie it at the handle end?
Can I tape an inexpensive crappie reel to the handle and spiral the line around the pole and out the tip?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
