Almost all commercial Bouys I have seen come with the string tied to the weight or with a clip. When you wind in the line you get a big mess as the line twist occurs. Attachment 181067
A simple remedy is to put a swivel on the line and it will eliminate the twist and knots.

Thank for the info. And pic.
great idea thanks for sharing
Smart idea.
Never had much of a problem but it makes sense.
JW where you get the big swivel at? I'm need some for my Texas rigging
Bob I bought em off eBay.
Tip #2
Always check the factory knot before the first use. First time i used one i pulled the weight off the buoy and tossed it overboard, buoy flipped about twice and stopped, picked it back up and the weight was gone...... :banghead
Tip #3--Just got done touching mine up today- paint your buoy's black. Makes them almost invisible to passers by. I've been doing it for 30 years. Sometimes I'll mark a brushpile, catch a couple then move on and leave the buoy to return and fish it again. I sometimes mark 6 or so then just milk run them.
Yup my favorite is black colored
