If you can get some 200lbs dacron, that would be great.
You won't be able to spool much, but they won't get off.

I use 45lb for the carp,gar and bowfin around here. The same stuff I use for fishing Pike threw the ice. I'm usualy not shooting more than 10yds.

Do you mean the black braided line or monofiliment?

i wont use anything under 100 pound test but i like to use 200 pound test.

power pro

i have read in bowfishusa.com that a lot of people are switching to power pro braided line. the 250lb test is a good choice. one warning, you HAVE to wear gloves when handeling this line. it has a small diameter. also, you can wrap more yards of it on your reel.

if you don't want to use that, then the 200lb fast flite line will always work. the thing with fast flite is you HAVE to spray it down and inside the reel with silicone spray so it comes out very fast and smooth. have fun.

I use the 200 pound test sold by Muzzy and al;so stock it in my shop.
You don't get but 25 yards of it per spool, but I have not needed any more than that yet.
Very strong and easy on the hands for spooling up.I've never lost a fish due to line breakage.

I would also go with the 200# Fast Flight. You can find it, and lots of other bowfishing supplies, at www.sullysbowfishing.com.

The 200lb fast flight sprayed with silicone works for me.

One advantage to the Fast-Flite line (made of Kevlar) is that the scales will not cut it on a pass thru. The first and last time I used braided line, I lost 5 arrows in one night on small gar. Lesson learned!!
