So after my first trip of the year i found out that my three new arrows are not going to work for tournaments. Every fish i shot fell of the arrow as i pulled it out of the water. the barbs on my arrow will not stay in place and they turn around. I guess that's what i get for going cheep. So now i am in the market again for some new arrows. Just wanted to get some opinions on what to go with? The only fish i ever shot are carp and most stay well under 25 pounds.

I havent shot the Pirahnas...plan to,but have shot the G.D's for years and they are the toughest head there is
Do not use shure shots in rocks they dont hold up, the piranaha is the best ive found for shootn in rocks the jackhammer tip will flat take a beating.
All I use in the rocks is 3 barb Grapples. You can beat the hell out of them and they will never break. Even if the tip gets dull, they still go through the fish. I carry a file in the boat. If it gets to dull I just hit it with the file and keep shooting. I can shoot the same tip for an entire tourney shooting in the rocks. Just do not shoot them in tulles. You will have to go swimming to get it free.
I have broke so many Gene Davis barbs off. I stopped buying them. Not worth the hassle.

As you can see,different strokes for different folks.Get a few of each mentioned and try em,make your own decision.
I will have to try that. I usually just throw the one barb G.D in the water. Once I break a barb off, usually on the first fish, I just throw them away and change tips. Dang I should have saved all of them and sold them on here if they are that good.
I'd go with the muzzy, and would add the big fish adapter! by far the best. pulled a 45 pound buff out of 12 foot of water and hydrilla last year with one. Check'em out at backwateroutdoors.com Once you shoot em there is no going back.
piranah short or long barb!!!! man now you got me thinking I need to order 4 more! (my friends keep breaking my arrows off on random crap)
How about these anyone ever use them?Cajun Lil Stinger 4 Barb Arrow

We shoot hard gravel/rocky rivers here in Indiana, and Muzzy points are the answer. The other points can't take the beating or we lose the fish that roll and loosen the barbs. If you are shooting big fish and don't trust the regular point, just add the big fish adapter in seconds like BDS said earlier. Always have shot the Muzzy points and tips, always will.
I just got a yellow jacket tipped with a sure shot because yellow jackets are the tits but I don't really care for the sure shot. Went out for my first shoot of the year and I was shooting commons ranging 5-25# (maybe some bigger I lost) and have bent 1 of the barbs already and loosened it so it swings side to side like a muzzy. IMO those aren't very big fish so I kinda hoped it would hold up to more than that. Pretty sure the barbs are going to either bend further or break altogether next time I'm out...
The problem with shure shots on commons is they like to cut doughnuts after you hit one which causes the tip to release.
