RITE-HITE Best Buoy-Marker Accurate UV-Coated - Great for Marking Your Favorite Fishing Spot with 75 feet of String/6.5 Ounce Weight

Great marker buoy: deploys easily, stows easily, highly visible. The only issue I had was the two buoys don’t stay snapped together very well, so storage isn’t as clean as I’d like.Still very worthwhile, I’ll be buying more in the future

These buoys work great! The flat weight snaps into the buoy when you aren’t using it, so the line doesn’t get tangled. It doesn’t get snagged on the bottom, but stays in place very well. The buoys also interlock like legos, so their not bouncing around separately in your storage boxes. Highly recommend.

Used it last time out easy to use no issues

They get the job done and are relatively easy to use and recover. The only (small) downside is they walk some while paying out. That is to be expected though bc they are square shaped and not round on the ends. If you need precise marking then I would suggested the rounded end ones.. The fact they stack onto each other is a nice touch for storage. It's a good affordable marker for general use things.

Works great and compact.

I've been using these to make a flatwater kayak slalom course on a lake or in light current, so a little different than fishing use. Bought 3 sets for a total of 6 buoys.I retied the knots on the weights as soon as I got them, as other reviews recommended. The knots I retied are holding great so far.The buoys are great. They hold their place in wind. I've tried them in light current and they seem to do well. I want to try them in heavier current, but that will have to wait until spring. They sure are going to make winter paddling more interesting. The flat design and the fact that they clip together makes them easy to store when not in use. I also like the fact that the weight has a place to clip in to the buoys, which makes for easier transport and storage as well.

I don't actually use these as fishing markers but rather to mark a course for paddlers to follow. I'm a certified instructor in canoe, kayak, and SUP. I have about a dozen and two of them are at least 10 years old and going strong. Some I got 6 or 8 years ago cracked and I found by drilling 2 holes in each and filling up with great stuff expanding foam that they actually work better. I gave several to another instructor so needed a few replacements and first thing I did was drill and fill with foam. I wish the weights were maybe twice as heavy but love the H shape that keeps them from continually unwinding. This smaller flatter shape is easier to store and handle too I think. I know of at least 3 other instructors using these now.

I'm an avid bass fisherman and bought these to replace some old, leaking buoys. After I got them, I forgot about my Prusa 3D printer! DAMN! So, I used Fusion 360 and designed my own buoys, a little bigger, with a wider 'throat' so I wouldn't have to turn it so much to 'reel in' the weight. I printed a half dozen and they are waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than these! If you don't have a 3D printer, then these are OK, just very pricey!
