QD,
Not quite. The heavy mono is crimped to the wire that the roller troller is mounted on so when I loop the mono around the cleat the roller troller is at transom height. Then the line from the rod goes through the release portion of the roller troller.
Rubber bands work as well, but not as well as the roller trollers. If you use rubber bands use #64. You should always have a box on the boat, they come in handy for a zillion things. The problem with rubber bands is that they don't get your line as low as the roller trollers and you have to relaease the rubber band before you can ajust the line. With the roller troller you can still let line out or take it in without unclipping the line.
