Waterworks Lamson Guru Fly Reel

Another new addition to the list is the Lamson Guru, the enlightened reel. The Guru enters the Lamson family as the lowest-priced fully machined reel. The developers have utilized the signature arm-style element on the frame and combine that with the open spokes it creates maximum structural strength while minimizing weight. The Guru form Lamson is available in 4-10 weights and shares the same drag design and components with the more expensive reels. Light, strong, and inexpensive what else is there?

FRA's Review of the Waterworks Guru Reel:
"An upgrade from the Konic since the Guru is a fully machined reel instead of a cast reel.  This makes the Guru lighter and more importantly, stronger.  A machined reel can be bent back into place unlike a cast reel.  This one feature alone makes it worth it to upgrade to the Guru over the Konic.  This reel is an unbeatable price for anglers who chase small trout, bass or carp and anything that swims in the salt.  The best value in our reel case hands down."  ~FRA
