Quick take
A complete bowfishing system with a bottle reel, arrow rest and two fiberglass arrows, designed to turn a spare hunting bow into a bowfishing bow.
This right-hand bowfishing kit bundles a Retriever Pro bottle reel spooled with 25 yards of 200-pound braided Dacron line, a Tidal Wave arrow rest and two fiberglass Chaos FX arrows. It is aimed at bowhunters with a spare bow who want to get on the water without piecing gear together. Everything is made in the United States, and the setup is meant to mount on a bow and go.
