This invention resides in a wet-tap sensor assembly and related method for use with containers, such as, pressurized pipes of flowing liquids to measure the contents therein. In use, the housing is securely attached to over a hole in an external wall of the container, and a sensor cartridge of the assembly movably inserts and retracts a sensor probe relative to the contents. With the sensor probe in place, whether inserted or retracted, the assembly has means to prevent the contents from escaping. The sensor assembly includes a locking mechanism that locks the sensor cartridge in the retracted position allowing for removal of the sensor probe while preventing against inadvertent displacement of the sensor cartridge, and preferably includes a cap positioned over the sensor cartridge that prohibited removal of the sensor probe without first retracting the sensor cartridge and that disengages the locking mechanism.

The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said frame further comprises: a fastening appendage extending from said base arm; a fastening appendage extending from said supply spool axle; and a notch adjacent to said fastening appendage for accommodating said fishing rod. 3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said supply spool axle is threaded. 4. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said base arm is t-shaped. 5. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said notch is substantially semi-circular in shape. 6. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said fastening appendage is a threaded bolt. 7. The apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising at least one friction projection disposed along the base of said supply spool axle. 8. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said notch is grooved. 9. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said securing structure comprises: a first washer positioned on said supply spool axle interposed between said support arm and said supply spool; a second washer positioned on said supply spool axle interposed between said supply spool and a spring, said spring positioned on said supply spool axle; and an engaging device mated to said supply spool axle, whereby said engaging device is in contact with said spring such that rotation of said engaging device controls the tension of said spring. 10. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said coupling structure comprises: a fastening plate having an aperture; a notch for accommodating the fishing rod, whereby said fastening plate engages said fastening appendage such that said fishing rod is sandwiched between said notch of said fastening plate and said notch of said frame; and an engaging device connectable on said fastening appendage for securing said fastening plate to said frame. 11. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said engaging device is an axle nut. 12. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said aperture of said fastening plate is substantially semi-circular in shape. 13. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said notch of said fastening plate is substantially semi-circular in shape. 14. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said notch of said fastening plate is grooved. 15. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said engaging device is an axle nut. 16. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said reel is a spinning reel. 17. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said reel is a casting reel. 18. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a friction projection disposed along the base of said supply spool axle. 19. A fishing line loading apparatus for loading new fishing line onto a fishing reel, comprising: a frame; securing structure, said securing structure securing a supply spool to said frame, whereby said securing structure applies frictional drag resistance to said supply spool; wherein at least one of said frame and said securing structure employs a structural rib pattern; coupling structure, said coupling structure coupling said frame to a fishing rod; a supply spool axle for engaging said supply spool, said supply spool axle disposed through an aperture of said supply spool; a support arm for supporting said supply spool axle; a T-shaped base arm configuration from which said support arm extends in a first direction; and a fastening appendages extending from said base arm configuration in a second direction, said fastening appendage including said coupling structure; wherein said frame is rotatable about said base arm fastening appendage, whereby the apparatus is attachable to the fishing rod in perpendicular and parallel orientations relative to the fishing rod. 20. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the structural ribs are at least par
