Need a recurve for hunting and bowfishing.
 

I'm new to trad-archery and I'm wanting to buy a recurve that I can use for bowhuntingand bowfishing. What are your suggestions for recurves?

i would go with the same bow that you use for deer hunting. if you dont have one then i would go with at least 40#. as far as a reel goes, i prefer the drum type, but you deffinatly want to have a harness on your arrow so you dont get a snap back.

pse kingfisher with a retriever reel. you want something you won't freak out over getting wet, slimy and scratched, or dropped in the lake.

What you want are two bows. Fishing will required a much lighter bow. If you fish all day with a 60lb + bow all day, you will be spent. My hunting bows are 60+lbs, my fishing bows are around the 35lb area.
