This fly reel was named after the Animas River just upstream from our home in Montrose, Colorado, this reel is built for anglers who need reliable performance in any water.
The Animas features a fully machined frame and spool with a structural profile, intricate porting, and a Colorado mountain silhouette. Its ultra-large, bell-shaped arbor allows for fast line pickup and reduced memory. The upgraded composite drag system delivers smooth, consistent stopping power in both fresh and saltwater.
A lightweight canvas phenolic handle offers solid grip when wet, and the low-profile, two-tone drag knob improves control. With a maintenance-free spool release and corrosion-resistant design, the Animas is built to perform and made to last.
Smaller sizes are ideal for your everyday trout setup, while larger sizes pair perfectly with your streamer rod.

- Anodized aluminum drag knob for increased durability

Totally enlightened. Steadfast and stylish, Guru has long set a standard for enlightened excellence as a rugged, fully USA-machined, and ultra-reliable reel at a great price. By increasing the arbor to a larger diameter and making the spool narrower—all the while decreasing its total weight and parts—Guru S takes it to another level. An enhanced spool machining technique—focusing material only where it’s needed—makes this version significantly lighter and higher performing than its predecessor. We’ve opened the porting to reduce weight and improve line drying, and integrated the counterbalance. We even introduced a curved cross-section for structural stability. Taking your game to fishing nirvana, this will be your Guru for life.
