If you don't have any success finding one in that length Carol a good solution might be a Diawa Wilderness DM802MR and put either a twilli tip on it or say an Allen (steel sided) roller tip. I have two setups like this and they work fine as my outer dipsies with my shorter roller rods with inside dipsies. These rods are inexpensive but serviceable. They have a flexible tip but the rest of the rod is sturdy so it gives some action to the dipsies.Thye have had plenty of kings test them out

OK. The reason I said what I did is that most of the common roller tip rods are often shorter in length than 8 1/2 ft I have at least 6 or 8 of them  that are 6-7 ft. Others I have are 8 1/2 ft rods that I have converted to roller tip dipsy rods so that was what I was referring to... I merely mentioned the twilli as another option. Some roller tips alone can run into the hundreds of dollars for the really good ones.

Good suggestion decent rod at an affordable price (if they come in the 8 1/2 length) I think if memory serves me correctly the wire versions come in even 1 ft lengths. but they have AFTCO rollers which are pretty good.
