I can not think of a better reel for Bow fishing. I love every aspect of the 310. I was using spool set-up before and I kept getting the line caught resulting in the arrow coming back at me. The last straw was whn the arrow hit me in the, lets just say it hit me where the sun dont shine. I broke down and spent the 60 bucks. well worth it. Effortless retrieves. Mininmal slowing of arrow speed. I love it. I will never fish bowfish anoter reel unless it is an AMS.
