reelers

Those who stagger

Reelers are people or machines that reel—winding material onto a spool or drawing something in.

A fishing reeler brings in the line; industrial reelers wind cable, film, or thread.

The word also describes someone who reels in the sense of staggering: The reelers stumbled out of the bar at closing time.
