The roller tip comprises a single piece of sheet metal formed and bent into parallel frame sides which are flanged to prevent wear on the line. Each frame side is integral with a semitubular sleeve side portion, and such side portions are connected to each other at upper and lower seams in order to form a sleeve adapted to receive the tip of a fishing rod. A roller is rotatably mounted between the frame sides, by means of axle means extending perpendicularly to such sides. The frame sides are integral with opposite ends of a bridge disposed above the roller and preventing the line from leaving the roller tip, such bridge being so constructed that the portion thereof lying in a medial plane between said frame sides is generally parallel to a tangent to the roller, such tangent intersecting an extended axis of the sleeve on the opposite side of the axle means from such sleeve. In accordance with the method of the invention, a single piece of sheet metal is formed into two elongated legs, two frame sides and a bridge, and each leg is caused to lie at an acute angle to a medial line. The legs are formed into semitubular sleeve sides, the frame sides are flanged and pierced, and the bridge is so bent that the frame sides are parallel to each other and the sleeve sides are caused to meet at their edges for securing together as by soldering.
