Description
The perfect tip for Electric Reel Rods, when fishing with your rod in a holder the swivel tip will follow the
fish, so avoiding unesassary bust offs.
Swivel tops are designed to keep the braid line in the center of the roller – so it touches only the roller
and the Fuji Ring in the bail – eliminating wear on the sides of the frame.
AFTCO SHD (Super Heavy Duty) swivel tops are designed for heavy braid line fishing and also work great
as teaser rod roller tops.
AFTCO Std (Standard) swivel tops are designed for braid line fishing.The #3 size roller is oversized to
minimise stress on your line.
AFTCO swivel tops are equipped with our super-braided line compatible modified rollers, they are virtually
foulproof, and feature AFLON bearings for superior performance and lasting lubrication.

HOW TO MAINTAIN AFTCO ROLLER GUIDES
To keep your rollers turning freely, always flush the entire guide (and tip-top) with fresh water each time you return to the dock.
This will wash away the saltwater residue that can buildup between the roller and frame, and is all the short-term maintenance
required to assure that your roller guides will perform perfectly.
Do not attempt to lubricate AFTCO roller guides with spray lubricants, as these chemical solvents will actually gum up the rollers
and ultimately hinder their performance.
Instead, we recommend a waterproof grease – such as Penn’s® Blue International Lube – to be applied sparingly to the outsides of the bearings.
AFTCO recommends that every year or two your roller guides and tops should be disassembled, cleaned and lubricated.
After removing the pins and screws (using a #2 standard screwdriver on each side of the guide or top), all parts,
including the inside of the frame, should be wiped clean with paper towels using a mild solvent or thinner.
Then, lubricate the outside of the bearing (black) with a small amount of waterproof grease (not oil) before pushing it back into the roller.
Finally, center the pins and screws and thoroughly tighten with the screwdriver. Any roller that only rolls when screws are loose
should be checked for damage or epoxy rod finish buildup inside the guide frame.
