The new Lamson Guru X 2-Pack takes one of our favorite reels and makes it even more versatile. You get one complete Guru X reel, a matching spare spool, and a padded carrying case—giving you the ability to fish two completely different lines without buying a second full reel. Keep a floating line on one spool and a sinking or intermediate line on the other. Pair a nymph line with a streamer line. Run a traditional weight-forward on one and something more specialized on the second. The combinations are nearly endless, and swapping spools on the water takes only seconds.
That flexibility is exactly why we use the Guru X 2-Pack on our Penobscot Bay Fresh package, where it allows us to pair two very different lines for anglers chasing bigger fish and changing conditions. It gives you the ability to adjust depth, presentation, and technique without carrying another complete reel—and that makes a huge difference when you want one setup to cover more water.The Guru has been a team favorite at Maine Fly Company and one of our hottest-selling reels, and the new Guru X pushes that platform even further. Fully CNC-machined from aluminum, it delivers the rigidity and durability you expect from a premium machined reel while staying impressively light in the hand. The large arbor retrieves line quickly and helps reduce memory, while Lamson’s proven sealed conical drag offers smooth, dependable stopping power with virtually no startup inertia. A larger indexed drag knob, thicker shaped handle, refined reel foot, and tool-free spool and retrieve changes make the Guru X feel even better on the water.
The 2-Pack simply adds another level of usefulness. Instead of owning two complete reels, you get one great reel with two ready-to-go line setups packed neatly into one case. It is a smart, high-quality solution for anglers who fish multiple techniques, different depths, different seasons, or simply want to be prepared for whatever the day brings.
Available in Halo and Blue Steel, the Guru X 2-Pack delivers tremendous value, serious versatility, and the kind of performance we trust on our own rods. If you only need a single setup, the standard Guru X is also available individually—but if you regularly fish more than one line, this is the one we’d look at first.
