SWIVEL ROD ROLLER TIP?

I am going to have a couple more 80# class rods built that I plan to mount a 50wideLRMS and fish 130# HC braid with a 100yard of top shot mono on. This will be fished off outriggers. They will have short straight butts. Because they are on the most forward rod holders which are canted outboard...I found after a fish is on and it is in the rod holder, the line is going off angled thru the tip because of the cant angle. Depending on the fish and the boat, the line can actually make contact with the side of the roller tip...until it is removed from the holder. (rod holders are fixed)

Do they make a swivel rod tip that would alleviate this? If so who makes them?
