Single, Double, Flat Bed and Quad Rollers
A single roller carries one roller head and suits short shipping on a firm bank. A double roller spaces two heads apart, so a long pole stays level as it runs back and the sections are less likely to tip.
Flat bed rollers replace the heads with a wide padded platform that the pole slides across, which keeps the sections still on an uneven or windy peg. Quad rollers put four heads on a wider frame for the longest poles and the fastest shipping.
Height, Width and Legs
The height range tells you how far the roller adjusts, and a wide range copes with a high bank behind the box as well as a low one. Telescopic legs with mud feet or spikes hold on soft ground, while flat feet suit platforms and hard standing.
Roller width matters on a breezy day, because a wide head or bed gives the pole room to drift without dropping off. A second roller behind the first keeps a long pole supported at two points on the ship back.
Setting a Roller Up
Place the roller behind the seat box at the height that keeps the pole level when it sits in the rest, then check the sections clear the ground on a full ship. Many anglers run a second roller further back for poles over about eleven metres.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need one pole roller or two?
One roller behind the box covers most short to mid-length poles. A second roller further back supports a long pole at two points, so it ships straight and the joints stay off the ground.
What is a flat bed pole roller?
A roller with a wide padded platform in place of roller heads. The pole slides across it, so the sections stay put on uneven ground or in wind.
How high should a pole roller be?
Level with the pole when it sits in the rest, so the sections run back without lifting or dropping. Adjustable legs let you match a high or low bank.
Will a pole roller stand on a platform?
Rollers with flat feet stand on platforms and hard standing. Spiked or mud feet suit soft banks, and some rollers include both.
What is the difference between a double and a quad roller?
A double roller has two roller heads spaced apart for a level ship back. A quad roller adds two more heads on a wider frame for the longest poles and the fastest shipping.
