RETRIEVER® SPORT BOWFISHING REEL
SIMPLE TO USE WITH NO BUTTONS TO PUSH: Unlike most other reels, Retriever® reels are always ready to shoot. They’re always in free-spool mode. Just draw and shoot!
ZERO DRAG: The line is stacked in a bottle rather than wound on a drum or spool so there is no drag on the line when it’s shot. The line freely spools out of the bottle on the shot and on the retrieve just stacks right back in. Just pull a lever with the index finger of your bow hand to retrieve.
HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION: Machined brass gears, stainless steel hardware and corrosion resistant housing ensure long life in fresh or saltwater. Retriever® reels are built to take the abuse of bowfishing and will stand the test of time!
FAST RETRIEVE: The Retriever® Sport has a gear ratio of 3:1 which allows 17” of line to be retrieved per crank. Twenty-five (25) yards of 200# test braided Dacron line is installed.
EVERGLIDE® SAFETY SLIDE®: Because safety is paramount, every Retriever® includes an AMS EverGlide® Safety Slide® tied to the end of the line. Never tie your line to the tail of an arrow (regardless of reel used)! Use the AMS EverGlide® Safety Slide® on every arrow, every time!
4 WAY ADJUSTMENT SPACER: Mounts your reel directly to the sight holes on your bow and allows you to mount in 4 different locations depending on personal preference. Milled out slots on the mount plate also allow slight up and down adjustment.
TRIGGER GUARD: This rubber sleeve adds comfort to the trigger. But, more importantly, it’s a safety device to lengthen the trigger to prevent line from entangling with it.

AMS ZIP® REST:
- The fast action of bowfishing requires gear that can be put to the test. Shooting can be fast and furious and bowfishing arrows are heavy. The arrow rest needs to be able to support the weight of the arrows, control them when they’re being shot, and allow adequate clearance for a friction-free shot.
- The Zip® rest is a simple yet functional arrow rest. Just snap the arrow in from the side or load through the center. Composite material ensures minimal wear on the arrow shaft.
- Mounting is easy and very adjustable. Mount the side arm to your bow riser with the included screw and washer. The clamp in the side arm allows the arrow rest to be moved in and out for perfect center shot adjustment as well as tilted to the preferred angle to allow for optimal arrow clearance.
- The Zip® Rest can be used by right- or left-hand shooters.
- Made in the USA

AMS EVERGLIDE® SAFETY SLIDE® for 5/16” ARROWS
AMS believes safety is paramount. That’s why we focus on safety in every product we manufacture. And, why we will never sell an arrow without an EverGlide® Safety Slide®, a device we invented, that changed the industry. This system has proven its ease and durability on millions of fish! If used properly, it ensures that your line will remain out in front of the arrow rest and away from the bowstring on the shot.
Just tie your line to the slide. Nock the arrow with the shock pad facing up while keeping the slide in front of your arrow rest. When the shot is taken, the arrow moves through the slide to the shock pad, taking the line with it. The line stays in front of the arrow rest at all times. This ensures that your line cannot come in contact or tangle with the bowstring, which can be the cause of arrow snapback!
