Featuring a zero-drag free-spool design, machined brass gears, corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware, and a quick-release quiver mount, it delivers unmatched durability and ease of use. With 25 yards of 200# braided line and 17 inches of line retrieval per crank, this reel is engineered for serious bowfishers who demand reliability and speed on every shot. ## Description The AMERICAN MADE, AMS Retriever Pro is the original bottle-style bowfishing reel - the design that has proven itself over 40 years! It's durable, reliable and it performs! And, it’s simple to use. There are no buttons to push before the shot. Unlike most other reels, Retrievers 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. Heavy-Duty Construction - Retrievers can take the abuse of bowfishing and will stand the test of time! Machined brass gears, stainless steel hardware and lightweight, corrosion resistant housing ensure long life in fresh or saltwater. Quick-Release Quiver Mount – The Retriever Pro Mounts to your bows sight holes. One t-screw controls 4-way movement of the reel and also allows for quick removal. An arrow quiver is also integrated into this mount. The Retriever Pro retrieves 17” of line per crank and includes 25 yards of 200# test braided Dacron line. We also include an AMS patented, EverGlide Safety Slide with every reel for your arrows. MADE IN THE USA! Review: Great AMS retriever! - As expected. These work great for bow fishing! Our family has multiple bows set up with these and it’s all they’ll buy! Review: 100% Reliable. - I got this reel as my first one was the spool type that you had to wind by hand. The addiction of the AMS reel to my bow immediately changed the game. You can reel the arrow back quickly for follow up shots when you miss. When you do hit your target this thing holds up to the challenge of big fish. I liked it so much that I bought a second reel for my back up Bowfishing bow. I will highly recommend this product to anyone who is interested. 10/10 would buy again. ## Features - The AMERICAN MADE, AMS Retriever Pro is the original bottle-style bowfishing reel - the design that has proven itself over 40 years!

These work great for bow fishing! Our family has multiple bows set up with these and it’s all they’ll buy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% Reliable. *by A***M on August 4, 2023* I got this reel as my first one was the spool type that you had to wind by hand. The addiction of the AMS reel to my bow immediately changed the game. You can reel the arrow back quickly for follow up shots when you miss. When you do hit your target this thing holds up to the challenge of big fish. I liked it so much that I bought a second reel for my back up Bowfishing bow. I will highly recommend this product to anyone who is interested. 10/10 would buy again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it, but I can't love it due to ... *by J***O on September 28, 2017* It's really the best option I have used thus far but just hurts coughing up the near 100 bucks. I'd have already bought a stash of these and another (third) bow if these cost less, but that price just hurts to pocket book for saving up. Pros - just works better than the other things I've used or seen people use or used myself. Con, not cons, just singular - price. I used a pawn shop bow with front string loop/holder for years because of cost looking at this. Finally hit enough fish and go out enough I saved and coughed up for this thing. I can't 'not' (double negative) recommend if you have the bucks for this plus arrows, plus bow, plus other stuff, but it adds up fast. Save up. Nothing else compares that I've seen or used before. ## Frequently Bought Together - AMS Bowfishing Retriever Pro Reel - Made in The USA - Tiger Archery 34inch Bowfishing Arrows Solid Fiberglass Shaft with Broadhead for Compound Bow and Recurve Bow Fishing Arrow Archery and Hunting (Pack of 6) - AMS Bowfishing Tidal Wave Arrow Rest - Made in The USA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/3289235-ams-bowfishing-retriever-pro-reel-made-in-the-usa](https://www.desertcart.us/products/3289235-ams-bowfishing-retriever-pro-reel-made-in-the-usa) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
