I have a bunch of roller guides similar the those but no name on them. They were in a big box of rod building supplies I picked up.

It is a device for inserting the swivel into the hook eyelets. Widely used in tuna fishing.

a question about those "double roller" roller guides....what is the "correct" way to run the line through the? "between" the rollers? , or, over one roller, and under the other one?

Between.

What knot is that MexicanGulf?

It looks like an upside-down San Diego Jam.

Never seen that one before.

How does it work? It looks like your ball bearing swivel has a solid ring.

Edit: Found this:

It opens the hook's eye, then you slide the swivel ring in, and another part bends the eye back to its original state. Pretty neat.

How much was it?

When I clicked the link it thinks I'm a BOT and blocks me.

Anyone else?

No issue with the link.

Had to reload my Google account but I got to see it, in Italian, and want one.

I went to the Everol website, and the swivel tool is not listed but the twister knot tool is.

MexicanGulf, where did you purchase the tools from and how much where they!?

Between them. The striper guide has two rollers in case the height of the reel makes the line rub on the top of the guide.

Hi guys, I purchased via direct email to Everol. The accessory to put the swivels in the eye of the fishing hook plus the twister knotter (tool for tying Pr Knot type or wind on finishing tyings) both taken together for 315 dollars including shipping.I have to say that they are two wonderful products, you can immediately feel it as soon as you hold these products in your hand. It was my Christmas gift 2024
