Lamson Guru Fly Rod

Lamson Guru Fly Rod

Some rods are built to feel impressive in a parking lot.
The Lamson Guru is built to feel right where it matters — on the water, with real line out, real current in front of you, and real fish that don’t read marketing copy.

True to its name, the Guru is a rod that guides you toward better fishing. It’s a medium-fast action blank with a forgiving, confidence-building feel that delivers accuracy, control, and smooth loading — the kind of action that makes great casters better, and helps newer anglers level up fast.

From small waters and creeks to big western rivers and even inshore saltwater applications, the Guru is a true do-it-all rod that keeps you connected and in control. It’s crisp without being harsh, powerful without being stiff, and tuned for the kind of fishing most of us actually do.

Built with Lamson’s proprietary Lockdown™ reel seat, durable components, and a clean dark finish, the Guru is ready for whatever path you choose — and it keeps a little karma on your side (and in your pocket).

Why We Like It (Big Y Take)

The Guru is the kind of rod that:

• makes roll casts and quick shots feel easy
• keeps you accurate without forcing a perfect stroke
• still has enough power to push line into wind
• feels fun with trout… but doesn’t fold up when fish get bigger

If you want one rod that covers the widest range of “real fishing” without punishing you, the Guru is a seriously smart choice.

Perfect For

• Trout fishing (dries, nymphs, streamers)
• Big western rivers and windy days
• Bass and warmwater
• Light inshore saltwater (especially 7wt–8wt)
• Anglers who want control + feel more than ultra-fast stiffness
