The main benefits of the Roller - prevents effectively of unpleasant wrapping-up the dropper flies round the main mono leader - enables a quick exchange of the dropper fly - saves material and therefore enables to use even the relatively expensive fluorocarbon for the dropper fly
Short summary of our knowledge - make the main leader from the monofilament thicker than the dropper; you may then lose maximally the drop fly, but never the whole main leader - Roller is sufficiently strength to overcome safely even the big fish - Roller is so tiny and has colors that are not screaming so that you need not be worry about the negative influence on fish - if you are less skilled, prepare your main leader safely at home - hole in the Roller has a diameter 0.3 mm, which is enough for diameters of monofilament which are normally used in all flyfishing techniques - cut the tippet using sharp scissors
