Look at the Great Northern Quiver site and in "other stuff" look for the Traditional Gadget adapter. I have some but have not tried them yet, but they look like a good way to attach a spinning reel without damaging your bow.

Years ago us boys all used "shoot through" bow reels that my uncle had purchased from some catalog.

Does anyone make a "shoot through" bow reel anymore?????

Saunders makes a shoot-thru reel. Ive been using one for years.

woodchucker · « **Reply #23 on:** March 09, 2009, 07:22:00 PM »

Any idea where I could get one now?????

Saunders Archery has a web site. I think they are located in Nebraska.

do yourself a big favor and go with an AMS reel. You will not regret it. If you use a closed face reel, its not a matter of if, but when you will forget to push the cast button. One of two things is likely to happen if you shoot without pressing the release. Either the line will snap and you just lost a $15 arrow, or the arrow will return on the same path it left....making itself a great threat to your eyesight. I have personally seen both happen multiple times. I have NEVER had either happen with my AMS. AMS will also give you more effective range because you will have less line drag. Only draw back is not having any reeling torque, but you said you already have a big fish rig. I hand figh mine anyways, and just reel up the slack.

Can you tell im an AMS fan

Here is couple pics of my last trip which was in June '07. The first shows my bow with the retriever reel but you can't see the bracket I made for it well.

The second is an in the boat shot.

Try backwater bowfishing for a shoot through type reel. They work well and are so light you hardly know they are there. We use them on our longbows and it just seems to be a better fit/balance.

My favorite is also the AMS reel. Bow is a Shakespeare Necedah.

Here's a buddy with the South Dakota record caught with a Martin recurve.

I like the Retriever reels as well.

Here's a "Gadget Adapter", with a Muzzy quick detach dovetail mount, and the AMS Retriever.

Hello there. I just made my own shoot-through reel for my recurve. If any would like to know how to make it just ask. I'll post pictures and things like that
