John, I may be wrong but I doubt that the Zebco Omega has the line capacity to be used as a bowfishing reel, that is if you plan on using 200 lb. fast flight on it. 10 LB/85 YDS is the advertised line capacity but that's not much when you starting using fast flight. The 888's have a capacity of 100 yds of 20 lb test and I routinely get about 25 yds maxof fast flight on them. Hope I'm wrong and it works like a dream.
