Cajun Bowfishing Kit...your review?
 
Is it good for $30?

I know.. You pay for what you get!

But I'm just started and I needed something real fast for the Billy Davis Tourney!

Just my 2 cents

If you're shooting a tourney, that's going to be way too slow to retreive your arrow. I would go to Academy buy a couple of Muzzy arrows w/saftey slides(arrox $12 each) and a Shakespear T20 (approx $13) and some 200lbfast flight line. ($8)Will be a little more $$ but you'll be much happier IMO.

Good luck.

I have a Real Seat bought....so I'm getting another Real!

I planned on pulling them in by hand then wraping it back up!

For a real dont go with a Shaespear. I went through two of them in one summer before I bought my Zebco 808. Either get the bowfishing edition or the 808 with a steel gears and ball bearings.

How do you like the Zebco bowfishing edition? I'vetrashed two 808s over the past two years. Pickup pins broke andone of the spools bent. I'm trying out the Shakespear Ti20. Seems to be doing good so far.

From my littleexperience in tournaments, if it is a numbers shootspools and retrievers are too slow because you have to use your hands. You might have a chance if its a big 20 or something like that.

Good luck!

For the tourney, definitely go with a retriever or spincast. You'll go nuts trying to keep up with a hand wrap reel.

BTW, we'll have some Muzzy reels for sale at the Billy Davis Memorial Tourney. (a bit late to pick one up... but I thought I'd let you know)

I love them (own 2). I have one on my recurve (for everyday bowfishing) and one on my small compound (for those big gator gar)
