Quick take
Stainless steel roller guide for rod tips that reduces friction and guides heavy trolling lines over the rod head.
This is a stainless steel double-roller tip-top in silver, size 6#, meant to replace the end guide on a boat or trolling rod. The line runs over the center pulley, which keeps it moving freely as it leaves the rod tip. It comes in four sizes to fit different rod tip diameters, so check the tip before swapping one on. Anglers trolling from a boat who want a roller guide on the tip will find it a simple add-on.
