pole rollers

jay · #1

hello again, ive had the old preston rollers for quite some time and to be honest, i dont think there made to last so am looking for any suggestions on good robust pole rollers that will last me many years to come. I know i could just search them on the net but the descriptions of them all say they are sh!t hot which is not true and theres nothing like someone with experience telling you how it is. Im not looking for really cheap stuff, its the quality im after. much appreciated once again.

I use the Preston Pro V and I have had them for 4 or 5 years and still going strong.

I would have no doubts about buying another.

alot of anglers do use the pro v rollers like, that says it all really doesent it, sturdy well made peice of kit, exactly what im looking for.

They pack away nicely too. I can fit both of mine in my carry-all and still have loads of room on top.

£45 there going for, its nothing when you think of the job there doing preventing your pole from getting smashed, the cheaper versions do the job but ive found they can blow over when the wind gets up and that can be more damaging to the pole than not having one at all.

I have the preston super v and a daiwa rocking one they are both great pieces of kit

theres nowt worse than having no confidence in your rollers on windy days so im deffos going to invest in 2 nice pole rollers for the summer, ive needed some for a while but have just being sticking with the ones ive got which are really light and can blow over when it really gets up

them super vs are the one up from the pro v i think and its only an extra £10, i wonder what the difference is.

Its the Daiwa "Rocking roller " for me. I much prefer the bigger area to aim at.
I also have one of the original Boss rollers which has bewen around for a while and has never let me down.

It's about 3 times bigger fully extended.

Hardly ever use one. The hedge is easier to carry

Ah... this explains why you use far bank bushes as surrogate float boxes then!!! Mystery solved!
