[IOS Factory] Line Roller HYPER for Cardinal

| Main Features

A Must-Have Item for All Cardinal Users

- Bearing-less structure provides exceptional durability and resistance to dirt
- Spins smoothly like a bearing type, dramatically reducing line trouble specific to Cardinal reels
- Compatible with PE lines: the smooth rotation of the Line Roller Hyper arranges the line neatly on the spool, enabling smooth line release during casting and noticeably increasing casting distance
- Also improves drag performance as a bonus
- Simply put, Cardinal reels cannot be discussed without the Line Roller Hyper


| 2021 NEW

In addition to the popular Gold & Silver versions for the Cardinal 3/33 series, a new BLACK color has been added.
When combined with the separately sold Line Roller Base in Black, it gives a sharper and more stylish look.
Functionally, the black finish also makes it easier to spot spider webs and debris that often cause line trouble in the field.

- Special alloy and resin inner collars are compatible with PE lines.
- Designed to flexibly accommodate differences in reel model years, types, and even individual production tolerances.
- Fits almost all original and reissued Cardinal reels regardless of age.

*From January 2025, two sizes of resin inner collars (3.55 mm & 3.6 mm inner diameter) are included.



All protrusions on the Line Roller Hyper are carefully smoothed to prevent line breakage and fraying of PE line when using drag.

| Notes

1. Always use the dedicated tool or the separately sold IOS Multi Tool for installation.
2. Performance may deteriorate if the line roller is excessively worn, dirty, or corroded.
3. Resin liners are more durable than bearings, but are still consumable parts.
4. Worn liners may reduce rotation smoothness.
5. If the bail return becomes sluggish after installation, adjust the bail alignment.


| Installation Method

1. Disassemble and clean the genuine line roller using the IOS Multi Tool.




2. Select the resin collar that best fits the shaft (choose from 4 types so it rotates without looseness).




3. Apply IOS-02 oil to the resin collar.




4. Insert the Line Roller body into the resin collar and apply oil again (no top/bottom distinction).




5. Insert the Line Roller body into the base.




6. Tighten with the IOS Multi Tool. If it loosens easily, adjust bail alignment.




*Tip: Keeping an IOS Multi Tool in your fishing vest or tackle box provides peace of mind for unexpected on-site troubles.
