you can pick up a muzzy real seat for around $25, a zebco808 (the all metal bearings) $30, and line $10, and and arrow $12 ====== $77. i know it seems a little pricey Ed, but it will last you quite a while if you are just starting out. i think the Bohning Kit is going to be a hassel, but thats just my thoughts. now you can get it and use it for a year and then if you really like bowfishing (which im sure you will) you can upgrade. i hope you get into bowfishing, its a ton of fun.
