The HD in this reel stands for “Heavy Duty.”

The Guru S HD has both a complete cage design and type II in blaze finish. Guru S HD is a phenomenal, affordable saltwater and/or spey reel. Steadfast and stylish, Guru has long set a standard as a rugged, fully USA-machined, and ultra-reliable reel at a mind-blowing price.

We’ve updated Guru’s spool geometry for enhanced retrieve rates, opened the porting to reduce weight and improve line drying, integrated the counterbalance, and introduced a curved cross section arbor for structural stability.

Guru continues to prove that the quest for enlightenment can be anything but boring.
