We might be a bit biased in saying that magnet fishing is the most fun and exciting hobby out there. Magnet fishing simply involves attaching a magnet to a rope that is thrown in the water. Once you throw the magnet into the water you will experience the thrill of finding hidden treasures underwater – coins, tools, hardware, items that may help in a police investigation and much, much more! Everyone can do it but of course it helps if you have a high-quality Magnetar fishing magnet. What will your next catch be? Exciting!

Read this blog post before you get started with magnet fishing.

To start, look for a place along the water where you will find a lot of foot-traffic. Some examples include: ponds, docks, piers, marinas, city canals, tubing routes, bridges and other waterways. You can use Google Maps to research bodies of water in the area you are visiting and choose a spot where you think items would be likely to fall into the water from tourism, patio tables, pedestrians, recreational activities, and more! Finding the right spot is half the fun.

You can find all sorts of items in the water – lost cell phones, tools, safes, horseshoes, war helmets and even pistols. The more powerful your magnet is, the more items it will be able to attract. View our Beast magnet here! Note: this magnet is only suitable for professional magnet anglers.

Take a look at our Buying Guide to help you with your decision.

We offer three sizes of quality ropes: ¼” / 6mm, 1/3”  / 8mm and 0.40”  / 10mm rope. The size of rope depends on the strength of the magnet and the weight of the items it can carry. Each magnet comes with an introductory guide that details which rope is recommended for your magnet. Our Orange Ropes are known for their strong grip, high pull power and visibility (so you won’t lose your magnet!). View all fishing ropes for magnetic fishing here.

Check out the step-by-step plan for attaching your orange magnet fishing rope to the magnet below: 

1.  Retrieve the Magnetar fishing rope from the package and take out your fishing magnet;
2.  Push the rope through the eye of the magnet;
3.  Pull the rope underneath the magnet before magnet fishing;
4.  Pull the rope. In this way the rope will tighten itself. Go magnet fishing!

Caution: Are you attaching the rope and the magnet with a carabiner? You can, but make sure that the eye is attached to the magnet with locking glue. Tighten the eye firmly. The magnet has more room to move because of the carabiner, so make sure to tighten the eye properly. 

Caution: Do you have a bigger allround magnet and doesn’t the loop fit like above into the eye of the magnet? Then please cut the loop with a knife and look at this video.

No, our Orange Ropes are sold separately or with the purchase of a Magnet Fishing Kit. We offer kits for Beginners, Advanced, Professionals and Children.

Some items that you find while metal fishing are not made of magnetic materials (for example, the aluminum parts of a bicycle). Our Stainless Steel Throwing Hook will help you retrieve more items and therefore make your magnet fishing experience even better. Discover other magnetic fishing accessories here.

This is not necessary. The magnets weigh more than 0,55 LB / 250g and have enough weight of their own to sink well.

When you use a high pull-strength fishing magnet, it may get stuck on the item. If this happens, we advise that you pull the rope in the opposite direction so as to not break the magnetic hold on your new item. The pull strength of the fishing magnet is strongest when it is perpendicular to the object it is attached to. When you pull the magnet diagonally, the magnet will have less traction and the magnet may release its hold.

We have been offering powerful neodymium fishing magnets made of the best material for over 9 years. Our magnets are specially designed to optimize catches with powerful 360º magnetic fields. Most of the treasures found by fisherman are raised with Magnetar’s magnets. We fish ourselves, so we know the importance of using a high-quality, long-lasting magnet. From our experience and listening to our customers, we have developed magnets that work. We test all our fishing magnets and with most magnets, you get 90 LB / 40kg more than promised! Read more about the quality of our magnets here.

Maximum pull strength is achieved under ideal conditions: a 0,8” / 2cm thick plate, perpendicular alignment and no dirt between the magnet and the iron plate. Pull strength decreases if the metal is thin or rusty, if there are curves or oblique movement and if there is dirt between the magnet and the object. We observe an error margin of 20-60 LB / 10-30kg for magnets; meaning that under ideal conditions our fishing magnets can have up to 60 LB / 30kg more pulling power than what is stated.

Our magnets do not lose pull strength on their own. Factors that can influence and reduce the pulling strength are temperature and magnetic fields. Proper consideration and drying your magnet after use will help to preserve the quality and strength of your magnet over time. Neodymium magnets cannot be exposed to temperatures above 175°F / 80ºC. For more information related to magnetic fields, view our pull strength measurement here.

Neodymium and Ferrite are both magnetic materials but Neodymium is 8 to 10 times stronger than Ferrite, making it a more expensive material. We use Neodymium for our fishing magnets because it is higher-quality and yields better results.

We do not recommend drilling or sawing in fishing magnets/Neodymium magnets yourself for the following reasons:

– Neodymium is brittle so your magnet can break quickly
– The drilling dust is highly flammable
– Splintering with flying neodymium can occur
– Friction can create heat that can demagnetize magnets
– The coating can be damaged and corrosion can strike faster

Our magnets contain a thin coating (nickel-copper-nickel) to protect against corrosion. This layer is so thin that is does not affect the pull power of our magnets. The coating may flake off or get small cracks in it due to underwater collisions and conditions. This is not a lack of quality, but a reality of magnets. If the coating starts to wear, the magnet will not lose pulling strength. Proper care and maintenance of our magnets are the best ways to protect them against damage.
