AMS Retriever Sport Combo

The AMS Retriever Sport Combo is one of the most popular bowfishing reel setups on the market — a complete, ready-to-shoot package that gets you on the water fast. AMS (Archery Marketing and Sales) has been the leader in bowfishing equipment for decades, and the Retriever reel is the gold standard for bowfishers who want a reliable, tangle-free retrieval system that handles the demands of fast shots, heavy fish, and repeated use in and around the water.

The Retriever Sport Combo includes the AMS Retriever reel pre-spooled with Braided Safety Slide Line, a bottle-style reel mount, and everything you need to get your bow bowfishing-ready. The Retriever's unique bottle design keeps line contained and tangle-free, while the Safety Slide system keeps the arrow slide away from your hand during the shot — a critical safety feature for bowfishing. Whether you're shooting carp on the Colorado River near Glenwood Springs, targeting gar on warm-water lakes, or chasing rough fish on the Roaring Fork, the AMS Retriever Sport Combo is the setup that gets the job done.

Why AMS Retriever?

The bottle-style Retriever reel is the preferred choice of serious bowfishers because it virtually eliminates line tangles — the #1 frustration with traditional spin-cast bowfishing reels. Line feeds out of the bottle smoothly on the shot and retrieves quickly for your next opportunity. The Safety Slide system is an AMS innovation that has become the industry standard for safe, accurate bowfishing arrow rest design.

Bowfishing in Colorado

Colorado offers excellent bowfishing opportunities for common carp, which thrive in warm, slow-moving sections of the Colorado River, Roaring Fork River, and numerous reservoirs across the western slope. No fishing license endorsement is required beyond a standard Colorado fishing license to bowfish for rough fish species, making it an accessible and exciting way to get on the water with your bow.
