Comments about AMS Retriever® Pro Bowfishing Reel:

I've been bowfishing for 32 years and I wish These were around in the old days. I wish they had 50 yard line capacity( yeah I shoot beyond the limited 25 yds supplied).I would like to see them co-op with whisker biscuit for better fitting together as I've had to get creative with mounting so the two will work together ( not hard just could be easier.

Comments about AMS Retriever® Pro Bowfishing Reel:

I'm a big fan of the AMS bowfishing reels. I have used the regular model and now the pro model. The pro model has the arrow holder which can be useful when you might lay your bow down and move the boat to different positions. Or when walking to different positions.

The reel itself is a simple design which is very safe. As long as I do not put the string behind the arrow rest and place the string onto the notch on the front of the bottle; the string feeds perfectly and safely. This simple design allows the person bowfishing to concentrate on shot accuracy and the joy of harvesting fish instead of technical gadgets.

I would not use anything other than the AMS reel and safety slide system because it's been effective at keeping me focused on the fun and has been a very reliable system. Why fix what isn't broken?

The bottle is flexible and seems to be built well enough to sustain most wear and tear. If broken you can purchase a new bottle.

The string material is also easily replacable.

This reel is perfect for carp.

Bow fishing

Comments about AMS Retriever® Pro Bowfishing Reel:

Easy to setup and use. I put it on a Fred Bear Take-down recurve with 35 pound limbs. I went out two days ago and I'm still sore. I bet I pulled my bow over 200 times. After missing a lot, I started shooting lower and BAM! Slayed the talapia! There were 5 of us bow fishing on 2 boats. All of us had the same product on different bows. None of us had any malfuntions. One guy did have his string break on the shot. He missed the fish and had to dive in to retrieve his arrow. His rig was 4 years old and he never replaced his string. I was so impressed with the ease of operation and how well it did on my recurve. That recurve is great for snap shots and the reel held up to every pull. I highly recommend this product.
