thanks guys. kinda what i was leaning toward. would like to keep the brute ready as a backup if the Tribute decided it wanted a day off in the middle of archery season.

if anyone is interested, there is a very nice onieda on ebay all set up for fishing on ebay right now. It's already out of the range i wanted to pick one up for. but it probably is one of the best bowfishing rigs you can get.
