Correct. Fished many years at Cuttyhunk with these set ups. Use carboloy, or equiv., for lead core and there will be no wearout. Also, roller tip tops not foul proof. The roller will often seize with extended SW use. Take it apart, clean and lub. Roller guides ineffective when roller shaft locks up. I have seen many rods where folks do not check and roller shafts are seized.
