My one concern though would be, in your case as you are bottom fishing, if a fish picks up your bait as swims toward you there might be enough slack that your line falls off the roller wheel and getting it back on with the sturgeon fighting you might get interesting.

If you look at the vid it looks like constant tension is required for the system to work.

Good Luck
