DIY BOWFISHING Setup for Recurve - Easy Step by Step Bow Fishing Reel

- Spring is upon us, the carp and spawning, and that means bowfishing season is here. This week I'll show you how to make a cheap, easy, and effective DIY bow fishing reel from just a few simple items you probably have around your home. We'll need a tin can, an old hacksaw blade, some tape, a section of bike innertube, and some nylon string. This bowfishing reel works great and, if you use the right size can, will hold a gopro for some cool slow motion shots.
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow making, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel czcams.com/users/postUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

Easy, light, efficient ant unexpensive. Very Nice. Thanks Clay.
Right on
I just got invited to go bow fishing for the first time. Unfortunately they dont have a left handed bow. I'm going to make this tomorrow for my longbow. Thank you for the how to video❤❗
Yes sir 👍🏻
Had a mountain dew bottle reel for years.
Gonna share this with my people.
Very good 👍🏻
These rich people are selling us a dream. This is all you need right here. Improvise and adapt.
necessity is the mother of invention, and thank you for posting this. Monkey learned a new trick today. Your approach was simple, direct and to the point.
Impressive how you reuse things to create hunting / fishing devices. Very cool.
Thanks Jim
Just made my own. Thanks for the idea!!
Clay, that was great man! Loved the GoPro in the can idea too! Thanks! I will make one and when I use it on my channel I will for sure link and mention this vid/your channel! Cheers from CA!
Thank ya
Very good DIY setup! I BowFish with a recurve and open face spool reel too. Love the simple & easy function and maintenace this design provides.
We used to bowfish for carp in SE PA back in the 70s. No fancy gear. Great idea for the reel. I'll get back into it.
Nice to hear some pointers on videoing thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Rocking Bon Jovi on the boat with the boys, what a great choice..
You Sir are a genius - great vid!
Glad you liked it!
I can't even begin on how great a design this is
K.I.S.S keep it simple stupid .......... awesome! love it
Badass brother, I'm going to make one and use it, come to Alaska and partake in the killing, it would be great to see you here. Thanks for the great video
Thanks
What a great attitude and thank you for keeping us informed. TNX
I saw somebody make one using a tin can in the small size, a hole in the back of the bow and the right diameter and thread bolt that fits the screw in stabilizer/bowfishing spot on an SAS flat limb connection Target bow Possibly a Chinese knockoff using tin snips that to cut a slot I hope he filed down on in very front of the can for the string to sit in to prevent unrolling. He was using either fly fishing string or actual bow fishing string the way the string looked.
That’s a good solution
@@clayhayeshunter It worked and all he spent was on the bolt at a hardware store and the string. The reason I am not sure, but it seems it was to have string so he could wind up without overlapping on its self too much and possibly messing up when exited getting a fish since it is hard to fish seeing the way the string was on the Reel when he was shooting.
Very helpful
Good job.....thanks
That is pretty ingenious.
Thanks
Nate
I made my own tonight. Thanks for the inspiration! Now to catch something...
Have fun!
Cool freaking shot to open the video with 🤩
That's the best darn video I've ever seen in my entire life. Brilliant MacGyver maneuver. I done sent your video out to everybody rat Houston Texas
Wow, thanks!
Very nice, I love DIY builds. I made a custom slide hammer for archer buddy some 15 years ago, he used it to get arrow heads out of targets. Could be a good DIY project for you.
Had a different buddy back in like 1982-ish with a new line set up on his bow.
Anyway 1st shot he had this red curved line across his face like a kid with marker drew it. Didn't have it right.
Great build,,,,I shot a ton of fish in the late 70s off a foldgers coffee can!!!🐟
That was a lot of awesome in a short amount of time!
I made something similar with a skateboard wheel, a rock climbing part and an old spinning reel/pole. It actually worked the pole helps with leverage when pulling the arrow in
Good sir👍👍👍
Love that DIY bowfishing rig. Ingenious!
I made one after seeing your idea. Can't wait to tag a carp or gar!!
Good luck
Wow, this is fun to watch. Good luck, be safe.
Let’s get after em
Brilliant execution of a concept sir!
Cool cool like the set I'm gonna try thanks
Just recognized you in Danish TV , incredible what you achieve!
Thanks Kim
tank you
Great I dear friend ; for D I Y, I wish I live with your State is more fish to eat, I am the fish eater - fish lover is more healthy than beef and pork, great show thank s 👍👍.
I like it!
Nice

I made one from one of those Cuban yo-yo fishing deals , mostly use it to shoot lines over limbs for felling trees near houses and power lines though lol.
Cool
Your voice sounds more yeehaw than usual. Cool build

During your season on Alone and others where getting a fishing line out any distance I wondered why you and others didn’t try to launch a lure or wood bobber with your bows out to where it was potentially deeper water?
could u make a diy bow and arrow of random things at home or stuff from Walmart just a challenge
Question please - my recurve is not 'centre shot' as you say and it likes 500 spine arrows as a result. The fishing arrows are heavy and no flex - can I cut a bit out of the rest until the arrows are sitting straight and so use a heavy arrow or ultimately a heavier spine arrow? It's just a cheap Chinese bow that I have started out with so it's not bow mutilation so to speak.
Sencillo pero eficaz el carretel de pesca , lo que me gustaría mucho es tener un arco de los que tú haces
Nice video. You mentioned that you would show a cup carving video. Did I miss it?
Haven't got around to that one yet. Probably do it when the new season of alone airs.
Time to get a big can of beans.
yep!
Any particular way the string needs to be wound onto the can? Thanks so much, looking to get into bow fishing
Not really
great video thank you! question for you can you make your own fishing arrow as well? keep them coming
I’ve just bought the modern ones. I’ve made primitive fishing arrows though.
I haven't checked all of your videos yet so i dont know if you talked about it already. what is the arrow/arrowhead you use in this video?
I don’t recall the name but if you search bow fishing on 3Riversarchery.com you’ll find it.
@@clayhayeshunter thanks a lot
I'm the 575 👍 did I win a bow?
The only thing that I would do to this project would be to add some kind of soft padding on the reel so that the snake skin on your bow doesn't contact the hard wood of the real. Marking up the skin would be a shame.
A piece of soft Velcro on the wood would solve that!
Great bit of equipment, unfortunately it's incompatible with the types of bows I shoot. Asian styles of recurve bend so close to the handle that modern equipment would stop it from working properly. Maybe I could attach the reel to a belt, or stake it in the ground. I'm open to suggestions.
For asiatic bows you can stick it in what djhao dynasty archers called the "hoo-ha" just check that it's centered deep and keep a real tight grip.
Apreciando a una mujer tan hermosa. 2:24 sentadillas son unos KIYOHARAA.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. 5:25 Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world los mortalesy abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer
I remember we shot a 5 ft gar with 3 arrows. We pulled it to the boat. I tried to pull it up and I barely missed a bite from him. We shot it in the head with a pistol and pulled it aboard then caved its skull in with a wrench. It was still fighting so we kicked it in the glory hole to wither away till cleaning time. Good memories.
Thankyou
