Type of review

I like it. Good quality materials. The inflation valve is not a shape I was familiar with: basically a small plastic plug that I unscrewed. Good news is I could blow it to full size, and it holds it shape even at 0 psi pressure, so once you have it blown to full size, just tighten the plug back on with a flat head screwdriver and you're good to go.

Pros
  • We fill it up with water and use it as a punching bag.
Cons
  • May be prone to leaking over time

It works got the A2

Do not get a 1/2 inch adapter for your hose. It ifs just a touch too big and gets water everywhere. Do the 3/8 should work. I ordered a 1/4 inch which should easily fit and allow for air exchange as it gets fuller.I have the 15 inch (I think it could be 14.5) this will get the job done. The tear drop design is great for uppercuts. I think 17 inch is ideal but much heavier. I can take this one down when I need to. Most heavy bags are around 14-16 inches. 17 in would be better for body shots…

Pros
  • was a little hard to keep filling past the line but works good as a punching bag
Cons
  • May be difficult to clean

Affordable aqua bag

I used this as a punching bag I fill it up with water you're gonna need a water jet nozzle which you can pick up at your local hardware store or Walmart. Haven't had any wear and tears so far from me hitting it. My only complain about this product it has a very strong chemical smell to it .

Pros
  • Fill with water using any regular hose sprayer (no need for attachment, just aim steady).Aqua heavy bag.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in saltwater

Perfect for our needs

We are in a cove off of a lake and needed a buoy to mark our lines to attach a lily pad and float offof our dock. Works great - seems very durable.

Pros
  • The buoy is resistant to cracking and splitting, making it a reliable and long-lasting choice
Cons
  • May not be as visible in foggy or rainy conditions

Looks sturdy and durable for zip line use!

I purchased it for a zip line. I mistakenly purchased A1 size because I misread the description but ebay is letting me return it and replacing it with A2. For what it's worth, I think A1 size would be fine but wife is vetoing the idea because she'd afraid our kids will slip off.As for the product itself, it seems very heavy duty and well-made. The material is thick and took me a long time and a lot of effort to blow up by mouth. Not doing that again with the larger one. Since it's going to be…

Pros
  • It is made from materials that are resistant to chemicals and oils, ensuring that it stays looking good over time
Cons
  • May be difficult to remove from the water without damage

If Your Using this for a punching bag

this is great for use as an aqua bag and i hang it in my garage. Just wanted to leave a review to help out another person searching for a better price/ same quality aqua bag. Believe it or not Ringside uses these exact ones and just rebrands them. So I did some research, I wanted one exactly like the 18" aquabag, and i found out that weighed 120 lbs on the aqua bag website. Ringside had a very close one in size that weighed 118, and the dimensions exactly 17" by 23" which is same as the A3. So…

Pros
  • The Polyform A Series Buoy is available in a range of bright colors, which makes it easy to match your boating equipment
Cons
  • May not fit snugly enough against boats, leaving them vulnerable to damage

Boxers best friend!

I wanted to post a review to help folks make their decision on what size is appropriate for them if using this for a boxing application. I have the A4, A3, and A2 and have posted a picture to show the size differences. These bags are extremely durable and i love the feel when punching them. Depending on how you fill them, i would describe it as hitting something squishy.again, this depends on how you fill it because you can make them feel like concrete if you prefer. The a4 weighs arkund…

Pros
  • It is made from high-quality materials that won’t deteriorate over time
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use with certain hull shapes or designs

Great punching bag good for me

This is a great punching bag. Similar to the aqua bag. Hang it then fill it with water using a hose and small water nosle. Affordable serious bag.

Pros
  • I use it as a punching bag. Way more affordable than the name brands and gives you the same work out.
Cons
  • Expensive compared to similar products on the market

Punching bag verified

This thing is great. Used a regular compression fitting to go from a garden hose to a 1/4" plastic tube. Drilled air filling hole out to 1/4" and works perfect. Filled 3/4 the way with water then a few burst of air and the plug with hold it air tight. Air gives it a nice pop. Not as heavy as some reviews say but it is very heavy, 150lbs maybe

Pros
  • Ridiculous that the inflation device doesn’t come with it.
Cons
  • May not properly support the weight of larger boats

Just right on my review.

I have an 8 lb Danforth anchor on a 20' center console, the A1 size is perfect. I had no trouble blowing it up with a small compressor pump that I use for the pool floats. I use it as part of my anchor retrival system, it handles my anchor with no difficulty and is not so large that it gets in the way while fishing. It makes the chore of retrieving the anchor must more pleasant, especially if the water is deep and cold! A nice upgrade!

Pros
  • It is perfect for use with a variety of watercraft, including boats, kayaks, and canoes
Cons
  • May be prone to cracking or warping when exposed to high temperatures

It works great as a boxing 'slip bag'. Fills up easy too, its sturdy, seems like it'll last for years. Not big enough to be used as a traditional 'go all out' heavy bag because its the size of a small head, but as a hit once and slip/dodge/duck bag its perfect.

Pros
  • The buoy is designed to be highly buoyant, providing optimal lift even in heavy traffic areas
Cons
  • May not perform as advertised in extreme weather conditions

Handle beatings well.

I am using this as a water bag for training FMA. I have beaten the crap out of it and it has withstood the daily thrashing without even marring the surface.

Pros
  • Great product, bright red color is very visible, quick delivery was nice and the price is right.
Cons
  • May not be as durable as advertised

Great punching bag in my review

A must have for anyone who wants a cheap punching bag. I created a little gym under my deck to help keep myself fit during this pandemic and I am loving it. This bag is very durable and can take a beating. The best part is when I am done using it I can just let the water out and store it away.

Pros
  • This flotation device is designed to withstand the harsh marine environment, making it perfect for use in saltwater conditions
Cons
  • May not be as durable in high traffic areas

Exactly what we needed to keep boats away from our dock

It has faded just a little (we got the yellow) but is still quite bright. Obviously a very tough product. May be difficult to spot in crowded waterways.

Pros
  • It is designed to be highly responsive, providing you with rapid feedback on changes in water conditions
Cons
  • May be difficult to spot in crowded waterways

BOXING 🥊 way better than a aqua bag

This thing is heavy as hell and awesome addition to ya boxing work. Why the hell would u get a aqua bag when you could get this lol

Pros
  • The buoy is easy to maneuver, which means you can easily tow it behind your boat
Cons
  • May not properly hold its position in fast-moving water

Very thick and durable

These are very heavy duty and very thick. I’m going to use mine for crab traps. The tops where the eyelet is are very strong and beefy. The Saturn yellow will be very easy to see in the water.

Pros
  • Nice and well made. They do have a very strong chemical smell which is expected but disappears quickly.
Cons
  • May not be as buoyant as advertised

Use as a punching bag

I wrote a detailed review but for some reason it was rejected by ebay. I'll try again though. I purchased the A-2 size buoy. It's most similar to the the 15" Aqua Fitness bag.It was pretty easy to fill. The ID (inside diameter) of the fill hole is 1/2 inch. I had some 1/2 OD tube that fit snugly to it. I connected that with an adapter to my sink and filled it up in less than a minute. The max I could get it was about 65 pounds, however the buoy had no give so I let some water out. I was happy…

Pros
  • It has a streamlined design, which reduces drag and improves overall efficiency
Cons
  • May be difficult to handle alone

The Better Aqua Bag Purchase.

Great for use as a heavy bag. Just know that the shell can harden up in cooler temps and the fuller it is.Definetly WRAP AND GLOVE up. Otherwise, no complaints really. It's a great value for the money.

Pros
  • The buoy is designed to be highly versatile, making it perfect for a wide range of applications
Cons
  • May be prone to mold or mildew growth in humid conditions
