bit of innox on a cotton bud and gentle coaxing with some heavy line, gentle heat should help the innox penetrate aswell. if that fails try and open it up by undoing the screw and give it a cleanup.

Dip the tip in hot water for 30seconds then try to move it. Then spray inox.

one of mine did the same i took it off and soaked it in inox and scrubed the corrosion off and that worked

I would just remove that roller tip and put a better one. Atleast if you got something big on the end of the line, u wont be worried and just concentrate on boating the fish.

Get some cord or thin rope and put it through the dead roller and add some wd 40 and pull the rope back and forward with some pressure and it will free up no worries and do this to all rollers after 2 or 3 trips.

After you free them, just keep spraying them with 100% pure silicon spray only, it will keep them like new.
