How good are these things? All I have used before for reels is the round drum spool ones and I had terrible luck with them. Almost a trip to the e.r. due to one. Needless to say I didnt use it for long. lately ive just been tying the line to the bow and letting it float. I am thinking about buying a AMS bowfishing reel and want to know if they actually work?

Thanks,

well I just got into the sport and I got the pro series reel. I have shot a couple times a week for about 2 months now and I love this reel. now problems at all.

I used to shoot them before i switched to 808 but they work great i had the same on for 4 years an never hada problem i recomened them

Can't go wrong with the 808 Bowfishing Edition

We have been using them on all our bows. Never had a problem with them.The safest on the marketin my opinion.

I highly recommend the AMS reel.

there is not a better reel on the market, hands down best investment of my bowfishing career

My only complaint with the AMS retriever would be the squeakiness on occasion, gets annoying, but is easily fixed with some graphite powder, which i like because it doesn't stink. Just one less stink i don't have to deal with, as there are plenty in the world of bowfishing.
