AIRHEAD Buoy, 20", Yellow

Very good quality have bought multiple times for lake buoy. Stands out on the lake so you can see from afar. Very good value and lasts a long time.

I bought these for a crab trotline. I'm using old SUV brake rotors for anchors which may not be the best anchors because they don't stay put the best. However, not to worry with this as a buoy, after my anchors moved to deeper water than my anchor line was, this buoy didn't submerge at all, made retrieval a breeze. Plus, they are super easy to write your name, phone number, address, Fish and Game ID#, etc. Blew up with a bicycle pump before i got in my boat and easily blew the air back out for storage after they dried. I had considered rigging up my own buoys from empty Tide bottles, but seeing how great these worked, I'll spend the money and buy more if I ever want more lines.

The air fill is NOT a regular ball fill vent. You need to pull it out fill with air and replace. It's a plug

Basically the same thing as a kids hopper ball (which you can get here for less.) I thought it would be a little better quality, but the ball is no tougher than an exercise ball, and the handle is hollow and floppy. Not the quality I was expecting for something labeled "buoy." I ordered this to use as a swim buoy for open-water swimming. It works, as long as you don't put much tension on the handle, which would definitely destroy it.

This is obviously a hop-a-long kids toy from the 70's or 80's relabeled as a buoy. However, it works great as a buoy. My only complaint is that they seem to tend to send different sizes. This didn't matter to us much,as we just needed a channel marked in the water for emergency services. If the potentially inconsistent sizes don't matter to you, it is a great product. Good idea to relabel these from their original purpose.

I’ve used them for bouys to define our swimming area at the lake. Good visibility, good size, good value. Durable- the sun will finally get to it after 8-9 seasons.

Received this a couple of hours ago and was unable to inflate it with a typical ball inflator nozzle. It would not insert through the small hole in the inflation port. So I called the seller company and they said that should work but there was supposed a small tube for inflation in the package and there was not. So after multiple attemps, I gave up and am returning this terrrible product.

I used this product for the kayak racing course finish line for the Special Olympics Maryland State games. I use 8 of the yellow and 4 of the red the 3 different finish lines for the 100m, 200m & 500m race lanes. They are a great product.
