"Perfect fit for the need"

Works great for keeping the line away from the prop. Also use it on the Non-floating handles.

float is bigger than described

i was looking for a small float to keep a ski handle from sinking and taking the whole line with it before the skier could snag it.

i was looking for a small float to keep a ski handle from sinking and taking the whole line with it before the skier could snag it.
this float is 3" x 5" not 2" x 4" as shown in the product description.
not sure how the bigger size will work yet right near the handle.
also dont be confused by the Spongex name. this is a plastic float, not foam.

            Works well at keeping rope away from impaler on my WaveRunner. Also keeps rope out of water better, so that you don't get that "snappy, whipping" ride from rope drag. Exactly what I was looking for!

                    • Q:

                      Have shopped at munerous marine stores for a float that I can run a line through to restrict entry into an inlet. I see you have a plastic float ($4.99) (#10115)similar to what I want but need 8 - 10 and trying to find something cheaper. Can you refer me to a product?

                      Do you have to put knots in the tow rope to keep the float in place?

                        Yes. You will need to do something to keep it from sliding down the rope.
