Jim Buoy's all-new LOK-ON ROPE FLOATS, when used with Jim Buoy's ROPE-LOKS will stay in position indefinitely. It's an ingenious, trouble-free solution to an old problem. To use, simply slide the correct number of LOK-ON ROPE FLOATS onto the rope and place the ROPE-LOKS on the rope in the position where each float will ultimately be locked in place. Next, slide the LOK-ON ROPE FLOATS over each ROPE-LOK until you hear a slight "click" indicating it's locked securely in place. It's that easy and it's a permanent installation!(Floats may be forcefully repositioned as future requirements may demand)
