Caught spool in basket (5)
I believe the answer is:
creel
'basket' is the definition.
(basket for holding fish)
'caught spool' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'spool' becomes 'reel' (synonyms).
'c'+'reel'='CREEL'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for creel that I've seen before include "Bobbin rack" , "Lobster pot" , "Lobster trap" , "lobster basket" , "or another" .)
