Alright I've search buttoned the heck out of these bows, so all I'm asking is from the guys that have shot these give me a good number ranking 1 being the best and going on down the line. I'm lookin at sellin most of my bows that don't get a lot of use and havin just a few real nice ones.

what I've been looking at. (forget about price)

1. PSE Discovery 2
2. Ross Manta Ray
3. PSE Tidal Wave
4. Hydro-Stryke pro


I know there're others, feel free to throw them in there if you think they're worth a shout out, but this is what its been narrowed down to. Don't bother shouting out Osprey's Hawk's or Mako's. And maybe I'll throw a nice slingbow from backwater in there for sh*** and giggles

Imo Discovery 2, tidal wave, hydro strike, manta ray. Don't know much about the Ross bow other than its expensive so I through it in at the bottom

 

[Delawareriver]

Cajun sucker punch is the best compound I've felt plus a lot of adjustability

Discovery 2 is the best bow in that group bar none!

Disco 2 is the best on your list. Where's the KoolAid?

Suckerpunch. D2 is a pain if you shoot a spinner. . .barbs will hit reel unless you pay attention to how theyre turned. Spend the extra 100 you wont regret it!

I recently acquired a Ross Manta Ray and have very little time shooting it. I can say that it is VERY smooth on the draw and I love its overall feel/size/weight/etc...I have shot the D2 for years and they are great bows. Very limited time so far with a Tidal Wave, and only shot a buddies hydro-strike one night. IMO if you are looking for straight quality as in finish, cnc job, and the like the Ross takes the cake. The bow is super smooth as well ranking tops in compounds I have shot bowfishing. I know people were thrown off at first because it maxes at #30. HEck most my bows get turned down to 30-35 anyway. LOL It can be ordered in heavier weights if you need it as well. It is not cheap, but it also does not look or feel cheap to me. I just like the bow. Again very little time with the Ross bow so far....The rest would fall #2 D2, #3 Tidal Wave, #4 Hydro-Strike. This is simply my preference and an opinion based on actually holding shooting the bows you listed. The main thing is your shooting skills will kill fish no matter what you hold. It comes down to finding the ONE. I personally love trying different bows and have bought sold many through the years. Good luck.

Not True
I have NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE with any D2 and spinner combo you may need to look at your set up and make sure it's right.

Also for the money the D2 is the best hands down.
For adjustability, it's still the D2.
For thump, Its still the D2,
For weight, I'm pretty sure it's still the D2.
Customer service is also great with any PSE

D2 is a bunch of bang for your buck. anything else u need to jump up to the lever bows

Bob Esper will even tell ya if you shoot the cajun tournament tip or innerlok grapple youve got to pay attention to the placement of the barbs to use an esper rest. This was with a ti20 & cajun black and gold reel seat. Did not like the bow. I suggest cajun.

There are clearance issues I agree. But shoot a $15 fish hook rest and go kill fish. pound for pound dollar for dollar D2 will spank any other bow.

they are all chit! take viagra and spear the bastards like a boss!!!!! haaaaaaa peanutbutter

 

[ILbowfisher15]

Disco 2 is the best, in my opinion. Love mine so far!
