Overview
Not a rebuild of the original, the Guru S is an upgraded version with a larger arbor and a narrower spool for faster line pick-up. It uses open porting and an integrated counterbalance to cut weight and shed water.
Machined strength and a sealed drag make it a dependable reel across fresh and salt water. The limitation is the sparse data: line capacity appears as a pair of unlabeled numbers and bearing count is given as an either-or.
Who it's for
Guides and experienced anglers who fish different waters and want a robust reel will use it. Beginners wanting clear capacity figures, or anglers who need a right-hand wind, should check the listing first.
Pros and cons
- Sealed conical drag
- Large arbor for line pick-up
- CNC machined and anodized build
- Open porting dries line and cuts weight
- Line capacity figure unclear
- Bearing count given as either-or
- Only the reel is included
Performance notes
A large arbor draws in more line per turn and reduces coil memory, while a narrower spool holds the reel weight down. A sealed conical drag resists water and grit that cause stuttering under load. Open porting removes metal and lets the line dry between outings.
