Trolling rod for leadcore

Skippy, ease your rudder.

By you saying it is a MUST and not preference is the problem here.

I prefer rollers, Dangles has rollers BUT there are MANY users of wire with non rollers and if you walk in a shop there will be a mix of rollers and non rollers for sale. Again preference, not a MUST.

I tried the non roller, hated it, changed it back. BUT, for some people, it doesn't bother. It is that simple.

How about this then, from my experience its a must for me.

So let me get this right and not to sound like a #^&#^&#^&#^& here, you all use it and hate not having one and due to the use of the word "must" as its a must for 99% of people, brash call out statements are going to be tossed out?

Lets take this a little further here, everyone should know that you can use anything on anything just about anytime its the effectiveness of what your doing, however this was a ask of opinions, and my opinion is its a must.

I think this is a fair statement.

In my opinion it's a matter of preference.

We keep 8 wire outfits on the boat - 6 do not have roller tips, 2 do. The 2 with them have been relegated to back up duty at this point. I personally haven't seen an appreciable difference in performance. I see the rollers as one more piece of maintenance, and with the number of days we spend on the water and the abuse the tackle takes - maintenance becomes a tangible factor.

I don't think we need to go all "online résumé" here, but I think it's safe to say I'm giving an opinion based on a significant sample size.

Most of the magazines and such will routinely state that roller tips are standard for wire - when I look around the other regular charter boats that we work with in cc bay, I'd say its 60/40 in favor of rollers vs standard.

To each his own - good luck to you this season.
