LAMSON

I really like the build quality and value you get with the Guru platform. I have the 7HD Blackout, 7 OG and 9 OG. Also the Remix 7 Daybreak. I use the Guru 9 on an 11’ rod and it balances quite nice, and I don’t have to worry about my mono rig coiling because of the large arbor. The Guru 7 HD I’m using for a mono rig for my 3wt 10’ and it is one of my favorite rods to fish. I like the little extra weight the HD has to balance the rod. And the full cage keeps my Euro or mono rigs where it should be.

Only two cons for me personally, is I wish they had a reel knob like the new style of Guru. I wish Lamson sold a weight system for any of the reels. It would be easy to have a weight with a set screw to attach to the reel spindle. Overall, it is a great reel!

Great construction and one of best priced best quality work horses around. I love all my guru reels and they have lasted me years

Just buy this outfit. Recently ordered the 9wt for flats fishing—you will not find a better rod for the price. Have since ordered a 5wt and 7wt (lined) great option for getting clients out on the water fast and easy. And Lamson are in Idaho while I guide in Wyoming so the regional shipping is painless and efficient.

I’ve bought and used several Liquid S of various sizes and love to use them on custom builds too. Best reel for the money I’ve found with great finish, quality and durability.

Just added the Guru S OG -5+ to the lineup. excellent reel, great build, solid piece of equipment built to last generations with proper maintenance. butter smooth, sleek and sharp looking on the rod. This reel will be a dedicated 9-0 5wt rod setup for medium to large trout. current owner of their Speedster S, Guru 1.5, and Remix 3 spool/reel combo.

Came in perfect condition and in it's own neoprene pouch.

Very nice reel. Well made works very well as a Lamson reel does. Love the blackout finish. I bought this for my nymphing rod and it looks and handles great.

First impression was good. Took on a back country trip in the keys. Paired well with my Lamson liquid max rod in an 8wt. was able to cast all day in the wind without heavy fatigue. Didn’t have a chance to put the drag to use but it feels solid. Pretty solid deal if it holds up

Been fishing Lamsons since I got serious fishing in the 1980's. Thrilled to add this beautiful reel to my Lamson Collection (I don't know, 7 or 8 reels and another few spools) and I even fished it today with Dry Dropper on the Upper Colorado! Really enjoy the durability and feel of my post "lightspeed" lamsons!

This is my fourth Lamson reel. I have an original Litespeed that still solid and reliable . I think of this model as a Dodge Power Wagon; a rugged, no nonsense workhorse that will outlive a few owners.

Great case, holds rod well in a travel bag.

Great quality and fast delivery. Cant wait to break it in.

Faster more powerful rod for heavier rigs, gets the job done

Spool works great, Lamson service is as great as their products. Note, glacier spool will not fit black reels. Luckily I have a different colored reel that will take all spools.

Excellent reel. Light weighr with a durable finish. I got it on sale and its a greay buy.
