bowfishing bow selection, AMO length

[Stone Knife]

45# is what I use, not too heavy at all matter of fact I would like a little more weight to cast that heavy fishing arrow for the deeper fish. If you wait to long you will miss the best fishing.

My main fishing bow is a 70's vintage 58" Bear Grizzly that I drilled and put inserts in for an AMS Retreiver.  My backup is a 54" Wing T'bird with a push button reel.  There are many older 52" bows that make great fishing bows, too.

Save your pristine vintage bows, but it's pretty easy to find a bow that already has some holes drilled so a couple more for inserts won't matter.

Unless you already have an AMS reel don't count out the Zebco 808 or Muzzy bowfisher reels, the Zebco is cheaper than a AMS and more user friendly IMO. PM me if you need more info.
