Lamson for the win
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!

Guru S HD
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.
