What Do You Want From Your Marker Buoys?

[smoothlures]

Hi guys, I'm trying to design some marker buoys. Looking for any and all input you might have!

Square surfaces not round with quiet counterweight (such as water or other fluid). Round surfaces (especially without counterweight) keep unwinding in windy or current conditions.

A smaller version of the "H" type, foam filled and dark color, brown /green /black would be great.

I like the H type. All of mine have been foam filled with great stuff and the hole plugged while the foam was still soft. I also replaced the weightwith a large bank sinker of the same weight. The flat lead wraps around the bouy and makes storage easier but they twist and get wedged into brush and tree limbs. No problem since the bank sinker. Bright colors also attract other boats so I'm also in on the muted colors.

I have seen his winder in action. Home made and works great!!! I use round ones, I can't see the H ones well.

Been in dry dock. My trailer broke in half on Fathers Day, so I bought a used trailer and have been rebuilding. Four months of work, then comes two storms and kills off the fish here. I am thinking road trip. How are doing?
