Post Bowfishing bow needs?
I got a free bow yesterday from a buddy but it ain't got nothing in it. I wanna just put a regular reel off a rod on it and was wondering how I can do that an what I need just to shoot some fish. Ain't trying to get to big into it though. Thanks.

The zebco and muzzy reals are nice. If you want hassle free and save on lost of arrows get a AMS Pro

Synergy 20 reels are the best for the money too @ Acadamy.. Usually about $13.00 here in AR.

QD and tie the line to the back of the arrow. If you forget to push the botton. The arrow falls off

Quick draw rest is tha only way to go imo. Ams retriever is easy to use and will last forever. Anything will work just depends how much u wana spend. Also arrow and tip combo is important

I use splash shafts with sure shot points from East Texas Archery. Jeff will not send you a bent shaft. Im sure there are some others that have great customer service but i can't speak for anybody else cause all i use is ETA for bowfishing supplies.
