A recurve has curved limbs at the tips. This allows the bow to store more energy in a shorter bow. A longbow is usually straight and has no curvature at the tip ends. And of course is longer in size.

What is the definition of compound bow?

A compound bow uses a series of cables and pulleys to increase the tension of the drawstring while making it easier (requiring less effort) to pull the drawstring back. A compound bow has stiffer limbs than a standard recurve bow, and will generally shoot an arrow farther because of the increased tension.


Is a bow-fishing kit on a normal bow as effective as a specialized fishing bow?

Normal is a the key word here. A recurve bow is ideal because you can make short, snap shots. You need to be quick and reactive and aim down the arrow. A compound arrow doesn't work aswell, because you have to full draw and aiming takes more time. Specialty equipment is nice, but an inexpensive recurve will suffice.
