<h3>Polyform US: Setting the Global Standard for Marine Protection</h3><p>For boaters who refuse to compromise on hull protection, <strong>Polyform US</strong> has spent decades earning a reputation as one of the most trusted names in marine fenders and buoys. Headquartered in Kent, Washington, Polyform US designs and manufactures its products right here in the United States — a commitment that shows in every detail, from material selection to the iconic blue rope-hold that has become a hallmark of the brand worldwide.</p><h3>A Legacy Built on the Water</h3><p>Polyform&apos;s story stretches back more than 70 years, during which it has supplied not just recreational boaters but commercial fishermen, marina operators, and even military and coast guard fleets. Whether tied up in a quiet freshwater slip or riding out the swells of a commercial fishing ground, Polyform products are engineered to perform where lesser gear fails. That global trust isn&apos;t accidental — it is the product of rigorous manufacturing standards, durable marine-grade vinyl construction, and an unwavering focus on even wall thickness and reinforced rope-holds across every product line.</p><h3>Fenders for Every Vessel Size</h3><p>At the core of the Polyform lineup are its industry-leading <a href="/7498-polyform-fenders-200396">boat fenders</a>, offered in multiple series to suit vessels of all sizes. The <strong>G-Series</strong> is the go-to all-around cylindrical fender for trailered boats and permanent moorings alike, while the <strong>F-Series</strong> steps up for larger vessels demanding serious hull protection. The <strong>HTM (Hole-Through-Middle) Series</strong> offers center-mount versatility for boats in the 30- to 40-foot range, and the rugged <strong>NF-Series</strong> is built as a single-piece heavy-duty fender with molded-in ribs for maximum abrasion resistance in high-stress docking environments like tidal areas and boat locks. For smaller crafts, the compact <strong>S-Series</strong> doubles as both a fender and a mooring buoy for PWCs and runabouts.</p><h3>Buoys for Marking, Mooring, and the Water Sports Course</h3><p>Beyond fenders, Polyform&apos;s <a href="/7498-polyform-mooring-fishing-buoys-200692">mooring and fishing buoys</a> are relied upon by mariners around the world. The legendary <strong>A-Series</strong> all-purpose buoy — the product that launched the Polyform brand — remains a staple for commercial fishermen, pot-and-trap operations, and general mooring use, praised for its ability to handle the most adverse conditions in ocean, sea, river, or lake environments. The <strong>CC-Series</strong> steps in for larger commercial and mooring applications where maximum buoyancy and durability are essential.</p><p>For water sports enthusiasts, Polyform also produces the <a href="/7498-polyform-slalom-buoys-200968">WS-1 Slalom Buoy</a>, which is commonly paired with the S-Series as a complete course-marker package for competitive and recreational slalom courses.</p><h3>Accessories That Complete Your Docking Setup</h3><p>Polyform rounds out its lineup with a full range of docking accessories. The <a href="/7498-polyform-fender-covers-200392">fender covers</a> — available in the purpose-built <strong>EFC Series</strong> woven polyester design — protect both your hull and your fenders from abrasion and UV degradation, extending the life of the entire system. To organize and secure your fenders while underway or at the dock, Polyform&apos;s <a href="/7498-polyform-fender-holders-200393">fender holders</a> keep everything neatly in place without the tangle of loose lines. Together, these accessories reflect Polyform&apos;s philosophy that reliable marine protection is a complete system — not just a single product.</p>

Product Details

The Polyform LD-2 Low Drag Buoy is the commercial fishing and marine industry's gold standard for buoy performance. First introduced in 1989, the patented LD-Series design was purpose-built to make crab pot and trap retrieval faster, safer, and far less taxing on crew and equipment. This Classic Red version measures 11.5 inches in diameter by 24 inches in length and delivers up to 68 lbs of buoyancy.

Key Features:

  • Patented Low Drag Design — Unique torpedo shape reduces drag by as much as 80% compared to standard round buoys; at 8 knots, creates only 1/6 the drag of a conventional round buoy
  • One-Piece Construction — Seamless, durable build for maximum structural integrity in demanding conditions
  • Heavy-Duty Reinforced Ropehold — Rigid, reinforced rope hold eye withstands the stress of heavy pot retrieval
  • Even Wall Thickness — Consistent wall construction resists punctures and tears for long-lasting durability
  • Reliable Vinyl Valve System — Proprietary valve maintains steady inflation and provides years of worry-free use
  • High Visibility Classic Red Color — Easy to spot in challenging open-water conditions
  • Made in the USA — Manufactured to meet the rigorous demands of professional commercial fishing

The LD-Series is the #1 buoy used in the commercial crabbing and fishing industries, outselling all other dragged buoys combined. Its versatile design also makes it an excellent choice for use as a hanging boat fender, mooring buoy, or marker buoy — particularly in high tidal current situations where its low-drag characteristics provide a clear advantage. Compatible with Polyform Hand Pump (Model #30) or compressed air for inflation; Polyform Inflation Adapter (Model #10) required for use with standard compressor nozzles.

KB was very helpful on the chat

Great experience. Will order from you again.

Checkout UI was weird, and made me scroll through stuff just to checkout.

Your site said "free shipping", yet charged me shipping. And yes I saw all the selections, not only didn't I select any, but it also didn't let me select any. And o e the final page it selected one for me! Not cool! Shane-O
