  Anyone know the difference between the Daiwa Rocking Roller and the Double tilting roller? Link below

  The rocking roller is the original Boss Roller design… the double tilting was a heavier (chunkier) Daiwa copy of the original Boss Roller…..
  
  All makes sense to me!! ~sick

  I have 2 of the Preston flat rollers admittedly quite old both are RUBBISH !i would not buy them again the plastic is not up to the design ! As i say they were purchased about 3 years ago and the new versions may be stronger but once bitten twice shy so i wont buy any more.

  Daiwa’s new rocking roller is the same as the mosella one and is sh*te,the ends break off and there is too large a gap between the upright and flat rollers,you will not beat the original daiwa/boss roller,just look at how many are still being used after all this time.~clap

  Just to clarify Stu’s contribution….. the Daiwa/Mosella copy is described as the (tilting) roller on the website……
  
  Oh….. and he’s right of course!!

  Ive got one of the original boss double rollers (black and green one) which is fine but quite small and would like a second roller to go with it for longer pole lengths.
  
  Is the rocking roller the better model then?
  
  Is the preston flat roller improved recently?

  if you have the smaller static double Boss roller then combined it with a rockin’ bigger one you have a great combi if you are going to fish with a long pole…

  K so the bigger rocking roller at 45 quid is the one to get then or do I go for a bigger v for the rear hmm decisions! Either way budget 50 max before any milo lovers jump on the thread ~think

  Dont get the Â£30 daiwa one, poor build quality and the rollers don’t always roll, you end up with the pole sliding on it and its fairly low at full height. I am going to get the Â£45 daiwa one, as it goes quite high.

  I will check out the rocking rollers then, seem consistant in good feedback and guessing still fairly light. How many rollers is best for say 11, 13, 14.5 and 16m of pole?
