I am currently building on an Anglers Roost blank. Overall quality and finish is good, and it seems to cast well, although I have just test cast it with the guides taped on. The only issue I had with the blank is that it had Angler Roost Enterprises written on it. Not really so bad exept for the positioning of the name in relation to the size and taper, which were also written on the blank. I ended up sanding it off to maintain symetry.
