Scott Stein Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 go w/ the AMS reel ($75-$80)its the bottle type so when you shoot you dont have to worry about a reel getting tangled while its unwinding,i have a muzzy bowfishing arrow ($20) and im usin a Hoyt MTSPORT at 56# draw weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I agree on the bottle reel. I've got an ancient compound with a 35# draw. Sometimes I wish it had a little more power, but a light draw is nice. You can shoot a lot without your arm getting sore. I would not use a good bow. Buy a cheap one. They get dirty and beat up, plus you don't really want sights on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 where bouts can you do that? I'll second that! If I could find a good spot, I'd give it a go right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benbosh Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 its a blast especially when they're so thick ya get two carp in one shot. then comes the fun part trying to untangle them while there flopping around and your cussing up a storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
