product description

Completely re-designed Guru reels. These reels boast an enhanced spool machining technique which concentrates material only where it’s needed; the reason why these reels are significantly lighter and higher performing than their previous models. But importantly, the form and styling of each, clearly flows from the same place. Take one home and see how the dimensions of structure and function inspire beauty. Enlightened Excellence! The new stylish Guru II Series is as rugged as they come. It's fully USA-machined and ultra-reliable at a great price. Lamson increased the arbor to a larger diameter and made the spool narrower thus decreasing its total weight and parts. Lamson updated the spool geometry to allow for enhanced retrieve rates, opened porting for reduced weight and improved line drying, and integrated the counterbalance. A curved cross-section increases structural stability. Make the Series II your Guru for life.

Product reviews of Waterworks-Lamson Guru S Series Fly Reel - New 2020

Sandra K Beckett : Best drag system

I own several of these in order to fish at different depths. Fantastic drag, very smooth and consistent with fine adjustment capability. Well constructed.

Amazon Customer : Quality Product, And Recommended Seller. The sizing has changed since the last iteration.

I gave this 5 stars because the transaction was perfect, and delivery was prompt. I'm writing this review just for informational purposes I guess. The Guru S series reels are another great product from Lamson, however the sizing has seemed to change since the last model Guru. These new ones are like a 1/2 size in between the prior model. I am a huge fan of the older ones, so I was a little bummed when I received this one to find out that it's a bit bigger than it's predecessor. If you're not picky about weighting and sizing, you should be totally fine. It was just a hair on the large side for me.

GrecoAmericano : Beautiful reel, high quality

Bought this reel to replace an aging Lamson Radius. I say aging, but not really, it's still a good reel. OK let's just say I wanted to modernize. I have nothing but Lamson reels. American made, very light, finely engineered and excellent craftsmanship. The drag is wonderful. The green color (darker than pictured, but who cares) is gorgeous and mates well with the green on my Winston. This is considered middle of the price range for reels however, this reel is as good or better than other pricey reels. This is the perfect reel for me and my budget and will last for years to come. My Radius is over ten and still looks and performs wonderfully. Lamson is the reel to have.

C.W. : Not bright green like photo

Very misleading photo. Very dark olive NOT bright olive like photo
