I've reworked the sponsor list and have included 4 new sponsors. Angler's Envy, Southern Graffix, Angler's Roost (website not active yet) and The Rod Shop (Eco Wrapper).

The links have been added to the sponsor list and except for the one noted are all active.

Is this the same Angler's Roost run by John Keuhn out of Williamsville, NY?

I have been dealing with John for about six months purchasing his excellent line of graphite fly rod blanks. They are VERY responsive blanks and extremely light, great tolerance control and nice finishes. I would say they are the best value in rod blanks I have seen in a long time.

I have not tried any of the bamboo blanks yet, as that is not really my forte', but I understand that he has them built based on the tapers of the legends of bamboo rod building. If the quality on these blanks is anything like the graphite, and from what John tells me it is, then they should be a great product.

Bill, Tom mentioned in the first post that Angler's Roost's web page is not up yet.
John does have a storefront on the major online @#$%& site (Tom, let me know if this reference is not OK).

I have purchased several bamboo blanks from Anglers Roost and can report the price and quality is good. They are constantly trying to upgrade their quality. I do not hesitate to advise anyone who doesn't make their own blanks to use them.

I have been going to john at anglers roost for a while. In fact he was the main one that I made reference too in the thread about whether we could mention non sponsors on the board. Good fella. Good parts, very reasonable prices. Glad I can talk about him now!

For anyone not wanting to go to the @#$%& site, John can be reached at jksanglersroost@aol.com or 716-565-9838. Anything you see on an @#$%& he sells direct and carries a lot more than is on there. If you are looking for an item give him a call, he probably has it. He is easiest to reach before noon and about 4 am on email. The number is to his office and came from his business card so I think I am safe putting it on here. Please let me know if it is not ok.
