Swivel roller tips

 Has anybody here tried a swivel roller tip and if so what do you think ?

Do roller tips actually have much less drag than a normal tip ?

 When they roll. Constantly maintain them and they should be a good as gold. Avoid the cheaper ones found on rack rods. They are inferior and will groove with braid. Expect to pay $100 + for a decent tip though

 Roller tips.....OK for 37 kg mono, cheap ones no good for braid, as you risk braid getting jammed in the edges of the rollers. Don't really see the need.
