Default RE: How I spent my Easter.

That reel is a Shakespeare Synergy Steel. I got it at Walmart for $25-$30. It's very similar to the Zebcos. The opening is bigger, so bowfishing-line flies out of it very well. I have it mounted on the bow with a Fuzzmount that bolts right to the riser. It's a nice setup, but the reel is pretty heavy, and makes the bow lean a little to the right. A reel-seat would be a bit more comfortable to use, since it keeps the reel centered on the bow and below the grip. I couldn't figure out how to mount mine without it coming loose every time I reeled in a fish. I believe Robow has a way of mounting one that won't come loose.
