I have been shooting a Retriever ever since I can remember........ I'm getting sick of having to pull in the by hand and have line all over the deck, so I wanted to change things up! Just ordered a Muzzy Spinner Reel and Reel seat with some Fast Flight line! Should be here by this Thursday! Cant wait to try it out!

 

[Slim]

You'll love it chris. For the shooting we do here in michigan, it is great and way faster.

 

[BIGchris]

I hope so! I'm hoping that I can get them nasty things in the boat faster!

 

[BIGchris]

I got the 200lb Fast Flight line.......is that good stuff?

 

[Mark Conway]

yes it is.....most common used around our area....I have never used anything else.....

 

[kuger]

Yep,great stuff,all I ever used too until I started using Monkey Wire!!

 

[Carp Skewer]

I just made the switch too. You won't regret it!

 

[JBSedon]

Yep, can't go wrong with the Muzzy and 200 FF. After the first couple of shots, you'll vbe asking yourself why you waited so long to switch.


But from what I've heard, snap-back is a b*tch......:laugh:

 

[BIGchris]

Well sweet! Yeah that is the only thing I am scared about is the snap back, but I watched WGB444's video on youtube and the line broke.

I have some other Q's........Is it hard to attach the line to the reel? or is it like any other spinning reel?

Just like putting fishing line on a reel

 

[JBSedon]

It's the same as fishing line.....I was joking about the snap back issue. Never had it happen, line broke when I did get a mstery not.

Okay thats what I thought......thanks!

HAHA Now I see.....I didn't see the emo-con after, lol I thought that It would just break haha

 

[JBSedon]

It is incredible how much people debate the issue, but Sheriff Brady pretty much summed it up.....and then people still want to debate it...lol. You'll be fine though, just about everybody shoots 200 FF and it ALWAYS breaks. Just pay attention to the rest and check for mystery knots. They are far and few between though. You're gonna love the spinner man!!:applause:

....something interesting happened to me the other night,which in decades of bowfishing I dont ever remember happening.......I was drawn back on a fish and I felt the line UNDER my index finger....thank GOD,I felt it and dint release.pretty sure that wouldnt have been good!!

 

[BIGchris]

Yeah Buddy! Can't wait now! Should be here Thursday!

I had it happen with my retriever too, I always wear gloves just in case and glad I was that day cause I shot before I noticed it. (without gloves maybe I would have felt it first IDK)
