Opinion: Anglers Roost (ARE) Rod

[wetswinger]

Was thinking of getting an anglers roost IM-6, 11' 10 weight switch to use as a surf rod. Just an experiment and with the low cost of their rods I wouldn't be out too much if I didn't like the surf. Anyways, anyone have experience with their products? Thanks...

No personal experience, but I have never heard anything bad about their rods.

His web site has not been taking orders since then.

No word on the future of his business

RIP

I have their 13 ft 8 wt spey rod, and I think it casts better than my Winston spey. My advice would be to watch the website, and if they start taking orders again, get two in case one breaks.
