Still bugging me so I did some experimentation.

The only way I can see being able to pinch the poly line in a roller is at almost a 90 degree angle up or down to the plane of the fairlead. How you are going to rig a pull at such a radical angle is beyond me and the only reason it happens even at that great of an angle is because at 90 degrees the vertical rollers can't roll.

At any rate I'm sticking with my rollers. As I said before, I'm more interested in function then fashion and I don't want to have to replace the line any more then I have to.
