I’m new to wire line.  Looking to get a pair of wire rods, these are what I have it narrowed down to:
Daiwa great lakes roller rod, all roller guides:

Okuma big lake wire rod, only the tip has a roller on it:

I cant pick them up to get a feel for them, looking for advice on which to purchase. I don’t think I want to deal with twillintip set ups but, have never used one. 

Thank you!

I have a roller rod for my wire and love it. No complaints here. I have also use the twillintip and those have worked well too.
