Well if you have a spool, you can drill a hole through it (perpendicular to the output shaft of gearbox), and run the cable through it. Once through, get cable end crimps and get a nice and solid crimp on it. Done correctly, that should be all you need. I would counter sink a hole for crimped end to set flush in spool to allow smoother wrapping.
