The Lamson Guru E-Series fly reel is the perfect choice for passionate fly fishermen looking for a reliable, high-performance, and stylish reel. It is based on the proven Guru S-series but has been specifically developed for Euro Nymphing. The Guru Euro Nymph 3+ comes with three different weight additions, which help you bring your nymph rod into perfect balance for practical use in streams and rivers. This innovative idea from Lamson will excite passionate nymph anglers!
This Guru E-Series reel from Lamson combines a modern design with functional details that make fishing much easier for you. A particularly outstanding feature is the oversized spool core, which, together with the narrow profile, ensures a particularly fast and efficient line retrieval. This allows you to ensure that the line doesn’t tangle, and you maintain control at all times. The Large Arbor design also helps you spend less time untangling the line and more time fishing. The precisely adjustable brake system of this reel is another highlight. The larger brake knob allows for fine adjustments to the resistance, so you can maintain control over the fish, no matter how fast or strong it pulls. This precise braking system ensures that you keep the upper hand, even with larger catches. At the same time, thin leader tips, such as those often used in Euro Nymphing, are protected, as the brake of the Guru E-Series runs butter-smoothly!
The reel is made from durable 6061 aluminum, ensuring particularly high durability. In combination with the anodized finish, you get not only an extremely resilient reel but also one that is visually striking. The stainless steel components and the HD Full Frame Design (closed spool cage) protect your leader and ensure that nothing tangles – even with thinner lines and long Euro Nymph leaders. However, the real secret of the Guru Euro Nymph 3+ from Lamson is hidden inside. Thanks to the innovative, customizable weight system, you can perfectly match the reel to your nymph rod. With the different weight additions of ½ oz (14 g), 1 oz (28 g), and 1½ oz (42 g), you can adjust the balance of the reel exactly to your preferences. This results in a harmonious overall setup that makes fishing even more enjoyable.
In short: Whether you’re an experienced nymph angler or just starting out in the sport – the Lamson Guru E-Series offers you everything you need for successful and comfortable fishing. It’s a top choice if you value precision, durability, and a well-thought-out design and covers all typical scenarios in Euro Nymphing from line class #2 to #4.
Our tips - Baltic Coast & Trout Spey
Even though the Lamson Guru E-Series was developed with the special requirements of Euro Nymphing in mind, it is still extremely versatile. Thanks to its full frame design and the ability to adjust the weight of the reel, it is also suitable for other techniques and scenarios. The Lamson Guru E-Series works really well on the coast. This is because it is 100% corrosion-free and its slim large arbour design with the V-shaped spool core is an advantage when using shooting heads and thin running lines. And you can also mount the Guru E-Series optimally on a trout spey rod, because thanks to the additional weights you can also perfectly balance your setup and the longer blank of a lightweight spey rod when fishing for large trout on the river - and increase the reel to a maximum weight of 180g.

Waterworks is immediately associated by most fly fishermen with the lightweight, reliable reels. Yet the origin of Waterkworks lies in a small, innovative tool. In 1996, Waterworks was founded by two anglers and product designers because they found a better solution to remove the fly from the fish's mouth faster and more gently. Named after their hometown in Idaho, the first Waterworks product, the Ketchum Release Tool, was launched in 1996.
Even before Waterworks was founded, product designers were working with high-quality components. Ryan Harrison honed his skills and knowledge in high-performance cycling, for example. Among other things, Harrison developed suspension technology for Cannondale mountain bikes, so he was already familiar with wheels in the frame.
It was only logical that the founders turned to fly reels after the release tool. Because fly reels were heavy, overly complex and unreliable at the time, so there was work to be done here. With the question in mind of what the perfect fly reel looks like, the ULA was born and represents the foundation of today's high quality fly reels. Together with Lamson, the fly reels, rods and accessories, now enjoy more than two decades of passion, innovation and solid engineering - with no end in sight.
