Polyform A-5 Buoy 27" Diameter - Red

The Polyform A-5 Buoy 27" Diameter in red is the industry-standard marker buoy trusted by professional anglers, commercial fishermen, and boaters across North America for marking gear in open water. After decades on the water, any serious angler knows that visibility and durability are non-negotiable when marking nets, traps, anchors, or waypoints—especially in challenging conditions. This buoy represents the product line that built Polyform's reputation: proven performance in heavy seas, rough weather, and demanding saltwater and freshwater environments.

Constructed from marine-grade polyethylene with a robust signature "blue ropehold" design, the A-5 delivers reliable buoyancy and secure line attachment without tangling or fouling. The 27-inch diameter and 18.5-pound weight class provide excellent visibility from distance while maintaining neutral buoyancy, critical when marking gear in depths where you need unmistakable surface presence. The bright red color ensures maximum visibility in fog, spray, and low-light conditions—a feature that has kept this design unchanged because it simply works. The durable plastic construction resists UV degradation, saltwater corrosion, and impact damage, making it a long-term investment rather than a consumable.

Commercial fishing operations, trap fisheries, and recreational boaters rely on the A-5 for marking lobster pots, crab traps, anchored nets, and offshore waypoints. Its proven track record in New England and coastal waters makes it the go-to choice for anyone who stakes their livelihood or safety on reliable gear marking. Whether you're running a professional operation or maintaining personal fishing grounds, the Polyform A-5 performs in the harshest marine conditions year after year with minimal maintenance.
