first things first these are designed for a two piece rod.
1/take off your weight
2/put your hook on the first eye from the reel
3/take rod apart,be careful as this is a cause of tangles,place the tip end towards the reel and tighten just enough
4/fold the reel handle and place in the sleeve
5/zip up job done,as with all things practice makes perfect.failing this go into your local tackle shop and ask,if the shop is busy donot be embarressed to ask just do it quietly.
i hope this helps all the best and tight lines
