Rod Rollers

Hi,

Whats the best and simplest way to test your rod rollers are in good shape?

Thanks,

Just take them apart and clean and grease them with a teflon grease. So you can inspect the pin and sleeve.

Cut a piece of rubber band,run it thru the roller and see if it's moving freely. Of course pulling it apart,clean and lube is best.

They should turn easily under quite light finger pressure.

If stuck or sticky, wrapping a piece of line, like heavy Dacron, completely around the roller and working it back and forth is a good way to free the roller.  Best to  disassemble the roller assembly at the earliest opportunity and add a bit of lube so it doesn't happen again.
