I have a custom 6 ft rod built for wire, made by canal bait and tackle. It has an aftco roller tip and gimbal butt with cap. Rod is in excellent condition with limited use.$100. Can post pics later if needed.

wire/leadcore

Roller tip is much desired, but many have regular tip. Due to repeated pressure(rubbing) on one spot in wire, you get fatigue and failure. The way many set up the wire is to have short pieces(2 ft) of heavy duty dacron, set at 200, 250 and 300ft. When you bucktailing, the dacron rubs the tip top, not the wire, plus you have the depth set (amount of wire out).
