Waterworks-Lamson Guru S-Series Fly Reel Arctic
The Guru Series from the American manufacturer, Waterworks-Lamson, enjoys worldwide popularity. The latest generation of this series appears with a completely new design, state-of-the-art technology, and, as usual, a first-class price-performance ratio.
Compared to its predecessor, the Waterworks-Lamson Guru S-Series has a slightly narrower but larger arbor design, which enables rapid line pick-up speeds while saving valuable weight. This reel features a lightweight construction method which creates a very light reel which you can rely on 100%. In addition, the relatively open arbor design allows for quick drying of the fly line and backing, which will increase the life of your line. Of course, the latest generation of the guru family is still manufactured in the USA, so the Guru S inspires by a first-class quality in all areas. Last but not least, the extremely proven Sealed Conical Drag System ensures a smooth fight, so that nothing stands in the way of an exceptional fish. The drag system is completely enclosed and is a very reliable braking system that is installed in almost all premium Waterworks-Lamson reels.
Without exception, all sizes of this reel deliver results in their corresponding field of application - from light Trout fishing with a dry fly to winter Pike hunting. A stylish design, perfect craftsmanship, and first-class durability for many years of joy: the Waterworks-Lamson Guru S!

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.
