Now that you have fishing line on the reel, pass the free end of the fishing line through all of the small washers and tie it to the swivel using a Palomar Knot. If you do not know how to tie a Palomar Knot, watch this video I made:
The song in the movie is Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin.
To the swivel, you can attach pretty much anything: snelled hooks, lures, spinners or even a fern if you so desire. With luck, a fish will subsequently attach itself to one of those objects.
