I"m sure its been covered a number of times. I'm planning on going from a retriever to a Muzzy reel. Do I really have to tie to the back or can I use a slide ?
DOA
op:
Synopsis of all the threads I've read on this subject:
1. There is a lot of one-eyed bow fishers in the world
2. Muzzy recommends tying to back with their spinners
3. AMS Dacron line is the only thing stronger than an actual spider web.
Just be sure to only ttb if you use fast flight, carp cable, woody's, or monkey wire etc. All of these break when shot even at low poundage as demonstrated in a video which is readily available if you type this subject in the search bar. The string meant for retrievers like the AMS Dacron line will not break, but will stretch like a rubber band. Always use slides with retrievers.

If you think it has been covered multiple times, it probably has, and in this case almost weekly! Search bar will teach you all you need to know about this. But like someone said above it personal preference, slide or TTB both work with spinners and 200# FF line. Slides work best for us and never had a issue with them.
Ttb will pull off the arrow off the bow string if you forget to hit the button. With slides it won't then you watch the fish swim off with your arrow after it snaps your line.
Also get better arrow flight while ttb

Always hear this but if you use a shoot through rod with slides the same thing happens. Never lost a arrow due to not pushing the button, several dry fires though!:laugh: Little better arrow flight and even penetration in deeper water yes I would agree with that. For us though shooting bigheads on surface and constantly drawing and letting down, slides just work well IMO.
I have been using a safety slide for years now and I personally like the line in front of the bow. I have a scar on my left wrist from when I was 17 and tied to the back of the arrow and didn't have the line on the outside of my left arm. Ouch. From then on I started using a split ring until the safety slide came out.
Never understand why when someone new comes on here to ask a question they have, there always has to be a smart azz keyboard warrior that has to point out the search bar. In the time it takes you to type some smart azz comment about it you can very easily just answer the question in the same amount of time. No need to be a jerk off.
To get back on subject.... Like they've said, It's personal preference. You're not wrong either way you do it. I find it easier to take my arrow off the line on pass throughs when tied to the back than using a slide and the safety factor of tieing it to the back is a little more comforting too.

TTB is awesome, and with the correct line there's virtually no risk of snap back.
Couldn't agree more. Not to mention the search feature is a ****ing joke on this and every other forum. If you want to waste dozens of hours of your life searching through thousands of posts and if you're lucky you might find the answer, it's great. The search function is completely inefficient, better off searching via Google. Or you simply could answer the dudes question directly.

lmao garp. it gets really old seeing the same post every couple of months. if the search function doesnt work then on a subjet like this just search a couple pages back and youll find it. but regarding TTB the search button will have no problems finding anything about the subject.
I use slides with a muzzy and shoot thru rod. Having the slide seems to alleviate the line twist and the rod will pull the arrow off if i don't push the button.
There's political, religious and military. Those 3 topics are argued more in this world throughout history than all others....
Except TTB vs Slides
But the out come of the argument of all 4 is the same.
