Hends Rollers - Knots and how to use them

 

 
What are the main benefits of the Roller?
   
--
prevents the unpleasant wrapping-up of the suspended fly round the main leader
-
enables the quick interchange of the fly/dropper
-
saves materials so enables one to use even the relatively expensive fluorocarbon economically
-
thanks to the free rotation, it enables a perfect non-disturbed presentation of the  fly in all layers of water as well as on the water surface

Short summary of our knowledge
   
-
make the main leader from thicker monofilament than the dropper; then you'll  lose hopefully only the dropper fly, but not the whole main leader
-
The Roller is of sufficient strength to withstand the biggest fish
-
Roller is so tiny and is clear in colour so that you need not be worry about the negative influence on fish
-
if you are less skilled, prepare your main leader safely at home
-
The hole in the Roller has a diameter 0.3 mm, which is enough for the standard monofilament which are normally used in all fly fishing techniques
