By Brodie SwisherApril 4, 2019

Warmer weather is on the way, and the best days of the year for bowfishing won’t be far behind. The sport of bowfishing continues to grow each year as it extends the opportunities for bowhunters to stay active with live targets throughout the spring and summer months. And as the sport continues to grow, so does the technology and advancements in bowfishing gear with each passing season. Here’s a look at some of the best bowfishing gear for 2019.  

Muzzy Bowfishing Gaff ($24.99)

When you’re going after big fish, you better have the tools to get those big fish in the boat. A lot of fish are lost each season by shooters that simply try to pull their fish into the boat with the line or arrow. It can be a heartbreaker to watch some of the biggest and best fish fall back into the water. Don’t let this happen to you! Use a gaff this year for safely getting your fish in the boat. 

The new Muzzy Gaff features a 24″ aluminum handle with a steel hook up front to provide peace of mind as you land your fish. It’s lightweight and easily stored out of the way when not in use. The gaff features a rubber foam handle for added comfort as you work fish into the boat.
