You plan on using a 10' pole for ice fishing?  You must have one heck of a shack!

[amazinmoose]

As a guess I would say it is for use with "wire line" maybe for lakers? Apparently you need a roller at the end of the rod to keep the line from kinking as a kink will really screw things up when fishing DEEP for lakers. At least that's what I learned on TV last Sunday

figured, i could use it for a down rigger pole  with some lead core line...  use it trolling quabbin maybe? -moose

there is also a tip called a "twilli tip" that is used for wire. i have seen them used on lake erie more than the roller tip but i think either will work

they use a roller tip because spider and wire line groves the regular tiptops and are designed for wire your welcome.
