    I am looking at buying a used bow for bow fishing this spring, what specs should i be looking for? What pound, DL, cam setup, letoff and such. I have been leaning toward some of the older Mathews, Hoyt, PSE, and Bowtech bows. I figure I can find one online, ebay, or Craigslist and be able to add the parts I need. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

    Will this bow be just for you? If not I would really look into Mission Archery by Mathews.
    Craze: dw=15-70# dl=19-30" $299 bow only
    Menace: dw=16-52# dl=17-30" $270 bow only
    The Menace even has a bowfisher package for the bow to get you all setup.

    Found one on cl, not sure if its near you but.... I would buy new, you get the lifetime warranty with it.

    This one is near retail price and its used and comes with stuff you wouldnt want.

    you should snag one of AMS bowfishing bows, like the eagle
    you dont need over a 60lb bow, and a draw length that fits you!:)
