Nah.
I'd be scared someone that know would see me. I'll pass.
on second thought they might not work in my rod transports. Besides I would have to lengthen my landing net!
That idea should have stayed in Europe for my part.
I watched a grandfather and grandson below Barkley Dam several years ago absolutely murder huge bluegills using the longest cane poles I have ever seen. They were fishing on the rip-rap and must have had a 5 gallon bucket full of gills up to 9 inches or so. Those of us who were casting the same area weren't catching squat. Those cane poles had to have been 22', maybe longer. They only had 10 feet or so of line so when they would hook a fish, they had to swing them out over the rocks to unhook them.
I was impressed but not enough to want a 22' pole for my self.
At times I think that roller setup would be handy when dealing with line around the tip of my 18 footers. Guy in back has to come to the rescue at times.
