Roller Rods

[blacksquirrel2]

I have a couple dipsy rods with regular eyelets and a twilli tip I use with wire.I don't really like the feel of all the friction and the loss of a consistant drag when fighting a fish. I am thinking of purchasing rods with the rollers. Are they worth the expence? will they solve my problems? What brands are felt to be a good value in your opinion?

Thanks in advance

I have 7' Fish Doctors They are great !!! Lighter and more fun to use, and they handle the kings easly.

I have very satisfied with my diawa heartland roller rods. Going on the fourth season with them.

Shimano 8' roller rods have served me well for the last five years. Plus they have a lifetime guarantee, which they honered for me after I broke off one of the roller guides. Got a free replacement, which was super!!!

I got 2 of the Okuma Blue Diamond rods last summer and love them. A lot less drag on the wire when it is going through the guides.

Good to know. I have been contemplating buying a set of these.

Do you have any preferred vendors for your rod and reel purchases?

I like bretts place on the bay he is more of an eBay seller but gladly accepts ph calls and will customize your order how ever you want it. He will even spool it for you. Big lake outfitters is also good to deal with.

Picked up some Diawa rollers last season, and really liked them. The only thing I may do is replace the swivel tip w/a Twilli as the wire seemed to occasionally wrap itself around the tip and jam up when setting lines...
