Polyform 25-807-602 LD-2 Low Drag Inflatable Marine Buoy 11.5in x 24in Classic Red

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.
