Tip rollers

[MexicanGulf]

Hi friends,
I would like to purchase a Guide roller kit for a set of trolling rods, the blanks I have chosen are the Rainshadow RSU60MH for line class 30-50 pounds.
I have contacts with a company that should supply me with roller guides, they offered me a set of guides for the 50 lbs class. The blanks I chose have a size 9 Tip. The company that supplies the roller guide set tells me that they only have size 14 Tip rollers available. 
How can I do this? Can you help me? I'm not exactly an expert at assembling rods.

There are quite a few online sellers that may have what you need.  JAN'S Netcraft and Mudhole come to mind.  However you may have a difficult time matching the components. Roller components are not cheap.  You may have to buy a complete set.

I had the same problem because they are still making roller tips for the fiberglass rods not carbon fiber blanks that are made today. I had to make a aluminum insert to fit. Some companies make the correct size but allot of them dont.

Roller guides normal use for heavy duty rod , I have not see any roller guides for size 9 tip ( 3.4 mm )

Modern guide inserts hold up to spectra well, consider not using roller guides.

AFTCO makes their  standard roler top in 9/64" (size 9)

Thanks guys, you were very quick to respond. I wanted to use the new rollers made by the Italian company Everol. I sent an email to see if they can make me custom Tip rollers, that is, size 9 (38 mm). I'll keep you updated; we'll see what they say.

I have a set of everol roller guides. I made a aluminum insert to get the tip to fit. It worked perfectly. The guide hole is straight so it was easy. Then I used a taper reamer to ream it until it fit on the blank.

I really like these Italian Roller Guides, it excites me to customize my fishing rods with something so uncommon on the world scene. Your personal impressions?

Real ball-bearing not bushings

They drive me crazy, I can't wait to try them.

Thank you, you are always very kind and willing to help, I appreciate it very much.I emailed the Italians at Everol to have them custom-build Tip Rollers. If that's not possible, I'll buy Alps, which are abundant here in Europe.
