Metal tang on basic bowfishing reel ?

[Gordy]

What function does it serve ? Other than making noise ?  

No seriously .... I'm new at this bowfishing thing.

Thanks for the info.

I'm asuming you mean the little "sping steel" line clip. You slide your line under it so that when you put your bow down by your side (horizontal) the line doesn't peel off and pile up at your feet.

OK, that makes too much sense.  Butif it's interfering with the line flying off...should I file er down a bit ?

thanks for the info. Got everything mounted up and arrow with slide system is flying well !
Now, if the weather would just cooperate we could try some fishin ! :\\
