Save the effort, here's a direct link to the pdf.

I steer clear of anything Guru these days, I paid the price with their line (Dragline?) so I give 'em a wide berth now.
And...
I dislike orange!
Fair point Jon.
I still don't like orange though
Joking aside my local tackle shop is moving to larger premises soon and the owner's excitement turned to confusion as he told me, to no noticeable reaction, that he was having an entire Guru stand installed.
He swears by 'em.
If you haven't already seen it this will give a whole new perspective on orange!
That seem to be the way of things in tackle shops of late; shopping by brand rather than by category - pretty much all of the shops that I use seem to have a Korda section, a Guru Section, a Maver section Etc. whether they get an incentive for doing this I don't know, but I doubt that it will influence my shopping patterns either way...
I had a very bad experience with a MAP rod several years ago & I vowed to myself that I'd never buy any of their kit again. Fast forward a couple of years, looking for a hook length box & guess whose was my preferred model?
I'm not sure that there are many, perhaps even any tackle brands that are at the top of their game throughout their entire range, and as ever personal preference (& prejudice) will have a significant influence. I love Drennan rods but would probably never buy one of their reels (& that's without ever even having examined one 'in the flesh', just a personal bias).
I use several Guru hooks (their F1 maggot is a particular fave) & they have some decent feeders. I have used their N-Gauge line for hook lengths on occasion too, although it isn't generally my preferred choice. Oh, & their catapult is very good too! That is the limit of my experience of Guru products however...
Clearly I cherry pick, & I suspect that I'm not alone but I guess that it's ideally sensible to keep your options open when it comes to tackle choices :wh
