Magnet fishing just like we use metal detectors to find metal objects underground, this new concept uses strong magnets to find metal objects in water bodies. Have you ever wondered what might be lurking in the depths of your local lake/river? There are some interesting discoveries from those curious enough to attach a powerful magnet to the end of a rope!

The best magnets for magnet fishing are neodymium magnets. These magnets are usually compact in size and have enormous pulling force. These magnets are rare earth magnets and are considered the strongest magnets available. An important fact to remember is that these magnets can damage electronics and cause injury! Never try to put two of these magnets together as they may shatter from the force. So be very careful! Also, you’ll need a long, strong rope. It is recommended that you use at least 50 feet of line, as this is ideal for shallow water and fishing in most places. It is also important to use a good quality nylon paracord because of its strength, durability, elasticity, high abrasion resistance and good knotting ability.

The magnets used are strong enough to remove large debris such as discarded bicycles, guns, safes, bombs, grenades, coins and car tire rims from bodies of water, but many who engage in the hobby are hoping to find rare and valuable items as well.
