This is the exact buoy float that we use on the Naughty Rooster. It has a long line clip that attaches to your wind on buoy marks on your reel. This large peanut float takes 22 lbs. of pull to be submerged. This helps drive the hook on the buoy rod.

This is a construction yellow flag for high visibility at any distance from the stern of the boat. If you look and see it is lying flat on the water or has disappeared completely, start reeling! 

Don't be afraid to fish 2 buoy rods as we do this all of the time. We fish one way back from the boat and one halfway from the point of that first buoy back to the boat.

We naturally are also fishing a tip rod at the same time.
