Fishing Magnets

Fishing magnets offer a unique and exciting way to explore underwater worlds. These powerful magnets, encased in durable housings, are designed to retrieve metal objects from rivers, lakes, canals, and other bodies of water. From lost treasures to historical artifacts, fishing magnets can uncover hidden gems beneath the surface. They come in various sizes and strengths, allowing you to choose the right magnet for your specific needs. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced magnet fisher, understanding the different types of magnets and their pulling forces is crucial for a successful and enjoyable experience. Consider the type of water you'll be fishing in, the potential size of your finds, and the strength of the current when selecting your magnet.

What are the different types of fishing magnets available?

You'll find single-sided, double-sided, and even neodymium magnets, each with its own strengths and ideal uses. Single-sided magnets concentrate their pulling Power on one face, making them effective for direct pulls. Double-sided magnets offer versatility, allowing for retrieval from multiple angles. Neodymium magnets are known for their exceptional strength, perfect for heavier objects.

How strong of a fishing magnet do I need?

The required strength depends on what you're hoping to find. For smaller items like keys or coins, a magnet with a pull force of around 50-100kg might suffice. However, for larger, heavier objects, you'll need a magnet with a significantly higher pull force, potentially upwards of 200kg or more. Check the product specifications for the pull force of each magnet available on TackleBait.eu.

What safety precautions should I take when magnet fishing?

Always wear gloves to protect your hands and be mindful of the environment. Never magnet fish in restricted areas and dispose of any recovered scrap metal responsibly. It’s also important to be aware of local regulations regarding magnet fishing. Check with your local authorities before you start.

What other equipment do I need for magnet fishing?

Beyond the magnet itself, you'll need strong rope, ideally designed for heavy-duty use like Paracord. A grappling hook can also be helpful for dislodging snagged items. Consider investing in a good pair of gloves, as well as a sturdy bucket or container to store your finds. Check out our Rope and Lines category for a selection of suitable ropes.

Can I use fishing magnets in saltwater?

While some fishing magnets are suitable for saltwater use, prolonged exposure can lead to corrosion. Look for magnets with a protective coating designed for saltwater environments to ensure longevity. Rinsing your magnet with fresh water after each use can also help prevent corrosion.
