Lamson Guru S Spool – OG
Totally enlightened. Steadfast and stylish, Guru has long set a standard for enlightened excellence as a rugged, fully USA-machined, and ultra-reliable reel at a great price. By increasing the arbor to a larger diameter and making the spool narrower—all the while decreasing its total weight and parts—Guru S takes it to another level. An enhanced spool machining technique—focusing material only where it’s needed—makes this version significantly lighter and higher performing than its predecessor. We’ve opened the porting to reduce weight and improve line drying, and integrated the counterbalance. We even introduced a curved cross-section for structural stability. Taking your game to fishing nirvana, this will be your Guru for life.

The Guru S spool feels much lighter and more balanced than the original. The curved cross-section gives it better rigidity during casting. I noticed improved line drying and smoother performance on long casts. It’s a great upgrade for serious anglers.

After switching to the Guru S spool, my casting accuracy has improved noticeably. The weight reduction makes it easier to handle, especially during long days on the water. The spool holds line well and doesn’t slip during retrieval.

It’s a solid upgrade with noticeable performance gains. The reduced weight and better line drying are appreciated. A bit more expensive than the original, but worth it for the improvements.

Fits perfectly with my existing Guru reel. The spool feels more responsive and stable. I’ve used it in various conditions and it performs consistently under pressure.
