Bowfishin tackle heads up

I was at Academy today and saw the Game Winner Bowfishin kit on clearance. Comes with an arrow with bowfishin tip, plastic reel and a spool of line.

Im sure the plastic reel is junk. You can use the twine for something Im sure, but the whole kit sells for...get this... $0.88! Yup, 88 cents!

I just bought 2 tipped arrows from Gander Mtn this morning for $19 each. I took em back after I spent less that $15 for 16 arrows at Academy! Had to buy a few slide kits but after that I still got less than $5 in each fully rigged arrow.

You got a deal on the kits, but I think someone had mentioned to you that you could get the arrows for $15 at Academy, so why would you spend $19?
