Abstract
A loop bottom buoy stick having a primary upper section and a primary lower section configured to receive a connector in an eyelet at the distal end of the primary lower section. The lower section includes a fixed section and a flap section adjacent to the fixed section. The fixed section is a continuation of the primary upper section and the flap section in combination with the fixed section forms the eyelet. The flap section is arranged to be able to be drawn away from the fixed section to establish a spacing through which the connector can easily pass. Optional spacer inserts may be used to set the positioning of a buoy on the stick.
