Can you buy end of rod roller, for wire?and where can you buy 7' roller rods? Are they roller just on the end? Thanks for help

I have several 6 and 7 foot Shimano roller rods for sale. All the guides are rollers. Like new.

You con contact me by PM here.

You can buy a product called "torpedo roller tip". They replace the last eye on the rod. They work well but it's only for the tip, not the entire rod. Therefore you will still have guide wear on soft guided rods.

Most good tackle stores can change tip guides. You can also order them online. Replacement is mostly heating up the tip, removing the current guide, adding some glue and installing the other tip guide.

I often change tips between wireline (monel 50 pound) carboloid tips and deep sea cod fishing with 80 pound test dacron for which I use a roller tip.

Another alternative to all roller setups is a roller tip and a main first roller guide (the eye nearest the handle). the eyes in between don't get any stress from the wire so no cuts in them.

I second the fish doctor rods. I own 7 of them. BT rods, Salmon rods, kid sticks and a steelhead specific casting rod. Love them all.
