9inch Ribbed PVC Cray Buoys - Durable Fishing Markers

The 9-inch Ribbed PVC Cray Buoy is a rugged, 5 kg flotation marker built for serious coastal work. Crafted in New Zealand by Quality Equipment, this buoy delivers dependable visibility and unstoppable durability for marking cray pots, fishing nets, and other gear in demanding marine environments.

• Size and visibility: 9 inches (228 mm) diameter ensures strong sightlines and stable positioning in currents, making markers easy to spot from a distance.
• Reliable buoyancy: 5 kg flotation keeps gear afloat through breeze and tide, reducing the risk of gear loss in rough seas.
• Ribbed, low-drag shell: The ribbed PVC design minimizes snagging on kelp and rigging while reducing hydrodynamic drag so the buoy stays upright and ready to work.
• Marine-grade, UV-stabilized: UV-stabilized PVC resists sun and salt exposure, delivering longer life and consistent performance under harsh marine conditions.
• Inflatable design with reinforced seams: Quick setup, compact transport, and rugged seams designed to withstand demanding sea states and frequent handling.
• Seven color options: Vibrant colors support fleet color-coding across pots, nets, or sectors for rapid identification in busy waters.
• Quality Equipment, NZ-made: A heritage of practical, dependable marine gear forged in New Zealand, reflecting local craftsmanship and field-tested reliability.

Ideal for commercial crayfish operators, commercial fishermen, and marine professionals who rely on clear, high-visibility markers. Use these buoys to designate cray pots, longlines, traps, or net sections where precise positioning matters. In open coastal areas or tidal channels, the combination of bright color, strong buoyancy, and upright profile helps you locate markers quickly, reduce gear loss, and speed up gear recovery.

Practical tips for longevity and performance: After each outing, rinse off salt and debris, dry thoroughly, and inspect the ribbed surface and seams for wear. Regular maintenance helps preserve flotation, color intensity, and overall reliability season after season.
