The Guru S Fly Reel
The Guru was designed for the angler who wants a fully machined lightweight reel but doesn’t want to sacrifice durability. The Guru S is a beefier version of the Litespeed. It features everything we enjoy about the top-end Lamson reels. A cone Teflon drag system provides exemplary drag pressure without sacrificing weight and the fully machined frame and spool create durability and longevity. The Guru S is a winner!

I’ve used the Guru S for several seasons on trout and small bass fishing. The weight is light enough to carry all day, and the drag holds strong even on long pulls. The spool geometry helps with line management during fast retrieves. It’s built solid and feels reliable after repeated use.

The reel feels balanced and responsive. The open porting helps with line drying, which is a big plus in humid conditions. I noticed a noticeable improvement in retrieve speed compared to the older model.
