Lamson Guru S -5+ - REEL1075

The Waterworks-Lamson Guru S -5+ is the definition of a modern workhorse, engineered to handle the vast majority of trout and light bass fishing scenarios. Perfectly balanced for 4, 5, and 6-weight rods, this reel features a true large arbor design that delivers rapid line retrieval and consistent drag pressure. It excels in technical situations where line control is paramount, from delicate dry fly presentations on high-gradient creeks to indicator nymphing on larger tailwaters.

In this Series II ("S") update, Lamson significantly reduced the overall weight while maintaining the structural rigidity that made the original Guru a favorite. Machined in the USA from 6061 aluminum and finished with a Type II anodize, the reel utilizes an open porting design to aid in line drying and minimize mass. At its core lies Lamson’s proprietary sealed conical drag system—a zero-maintenance mechanism known for its incredibly smooth, zero-inertia startup that protects fine tippets from sudden strikes.

This specific reel is in Like New, never-used condition, offering a rare chance to purchase current-generation technology in pristine shape. It provides the full performance and reliability of a factory-fresh product without the standard retail price tag. This is an exceptional value for an angler looking to upgrade their primary rig with a reel built to last a lifetime.
