The Bulldog 500 is a double sided fishing magnet for magnet fishers who want more reach and more flexibility in the water. With 2 x 250 kg, 2 x 550 lb pulling force, you fish with magnetic force on both sides, which increases your chance of catching metal objects. Use it flat for dragging along the bottom, or vertical for more direct pulling power on heavier finds.
Are you looking for a more powerful double sided magnet? Check out our Bulldog 800 here.Â
This magnet combines two 250 kg, 550 lb magnetic sides in one compact body. That gives you a wider active magnetic field than a single sided magnet. The steel ring casing helps protect the magnet during use around rocks, scrap, bridges, quays and canal edges.
The Bulldog 500 can be used in two ways. Mount the eye bolt on the side to drag the magnet horizontally and scan more ground. Mount it on the face to fish vertically and focus more pulling force on a single object.
That makes this model a strong choice for beginners and allround users who want one magnet for different situations.

Decent magnet but prefer the bulldog 800 over it.
Giovanni Rossi –
I love this magnet.
Laura Brown –
Awesome, everything works perfectly.
G. Torres –
I have the Bulldog 500 and Bulldog 800 and both are great. Bulldog 500 is lighter and less powerful than the Bulldog 800.
Leonardo Santos –
Immediately ordered Bulldog 800 because it’s a bit light. Nice to cast far but prefer a heavier magnet that goes well through the mud.
Alan Pawlak –
Nice magnet. Focused fishing with two magnetic surfaces.
