That'd give me some flexibility on setups.
But whatever I end up with, it's tedious getting it set up with the way our bow roller and rails are configured. The roller is just far enough forward, and low enough, to make it a hassle to get a line with the hook out there without it falling off the chain or risking loss of a boat hook pole.
I saw a Mantus hook at a local ship store, yowza, it's HUGE. No way it'd fit over the roller.
