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 model of the recurve bow Allison Argent uses in Teen Wolf?
She uses two different bows: the one she shows to scott in her room?, which is a elkhorn compound bow from crosman archery and the one she uses in the wood which is a completely black recurve bow, that one i'm not sure at all but i guess is a Bear take down youth righ/left hand or if not then its a martin xr recurve right/left hand bow.

What is the definition of compound bow?

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.
