Thanks, that's kinda how I saw myself doing it and I'll do 5m now

You basically need a loop at either end of the line which is large enough to get another reel through. On Duncan's picture it looks like the tail end is then knotted and taped or cable tied onto the reel. Then when you cut the line to add another reel, make sure it between the loop and the reel. The loop at the start of the next reel is then larks footed through the end of the last line. Simple.
Well I'm confused now.

Think I'll re-read that a few times and then I'm sure it will be as clear as one of my UK cavern dives
Thanks Marcus
