AIRHEAD Safety Float F-5R, 5 Inch x 3 Inch, Red

The AIRHEAD F-5R is a durable, ultrasonically welded plastic safety float designed for a wide range of marine and water uses. Its compact 5 inch by 3 inch cylindrical shape makes it a versatile choice for pools, ski ropes, anchor lines, marker buoys, and crab traps. A 1/2 inch hole through the center of the float allows it to be threaded directly onto rope or line, so it can be positioned wherever visibility or flotation is needed.

Built with an ultrasonic welding process, the float's plastic shell is sealed to resist water intrusion and hold up to repeated use in and around the water. It is finished in red for high visibility, helping mark anchor lines, ski ropes, or trap lines so they are easier to spot on the surface. At a lightweight 0.15625 pounds, it adds minimal drag or weight to a line while still providing dependable flotation.

This float is sold individually and is offered as an economical, no-frills solution for boaters, anglers, and water sports enthusiasts who need a simple way to mark or float a line. It fits any application where a small, rope-mounted flotation marker is useful, without requiring specialized hardware or installation tools.
