fishin', i'm not good at explaining things so i'll try again. you take a regular lead pencil. it needs to be the 6 sided kind and not the round kind. sharpen it so the point will go down the breams throat easier. stick the pencil down the fishes throat past the hook an inch or two and with your thumb hold the line against one of the flat sides of the pencil and with the fish hanging tail down/head up spin the fish. just make sure you hold the line tight to the pencil. a rough stick will do too. makes it easier to hold the line against the stick so it doesn't slip.

this way you don't have to look down the fishes mouth to see if you got such and such notch lined up with the line or hook. just poke the pencil, hold the line tight and spin. fast and easy.
