Abstract
A line retainer for use with bow fishing reels, which provide extremely low drag on the line, holds the line retained in the bottle so as to reduce the chance of snagging or catching, and yet automatically releases with release of the arrow avoiding the need for manual release as is required by conventional spin casting type reels.
