Product Review

We're pleased to introduce Guru, an enlightening reel. Guru enters the family as our lowest-priced fully machined reel. The signature arm-style element on the frame combines with open spokes to maximize structural strength and minimize weight. As with our other reels, Guru features true large arbor ratios. Guru is available in 4 weight through 10 weight, and shares identical drag design and components with our most expensive reels. Guru is finished with a clear type 2 anodize.

This review is from: Lamson Guru 1.5 Fly Fishing Reel - comes with free 5wt fly line (Misc.)
Reel looks great. Very light and seems nicely constructed. But, totally disappointed with "free line" offer. The line is not mounted and there is no backing and there is no way to know what brand or quality of line is included in the plastic bag stuffed in with the reel. Orvis and others mount the line with backing and let you know what model of line is included. I will have to start over and shop for line since I have no idea what the "free line" is. Essentially, I have to spend an additional $50.00 or so or take my chances on my next trout fishing trip with this bright yellow mystery line. Do not purchase this reel if the line is important to you. For me, I am pleased with the reel but feel like I was totally mislead regarding the 5wt line. I will supplement this review once I have used what is a handsomely designed reel.
