Choosing the right magnet and rope for your needs

It is crucial that you get the right magnet and rope which fits your needs and strengths. The magnet has to be so strong that it will find things other than nails and beer caps, but if it is to strong for you, you might not be able to pull it off the stuff you catch. In the following links you can see what magnets and rope I recommend that you guys use.

You can read about all of the magnet fishing accessories I suggest you could buy to assist you when you go on your magnet fishing trips.

Make the best knot for magnet fishing

Since your magnet and rope is not attached to each other when they arrive, you have to learn how to make some strong knots which can carry the load from the magnet. Furthermore, knots are known to weaken the strength of a rope, therefore it is crucial to use the right one. By clicking the link below, I will show you four different knots to use. The first one is the one I use for all my magnets, the two last ones are used in the climbing community.

Learn the best techniques for magnet fishing

​If you have bought a pot magnet, throwing it out in the water and dragging it back in will not yield any huge results. This is because when the magnet is being dragged over the bottom of the lake/river, the edge of the magnet will make the bottom of the magnet point upwards. Therefore I advise you to click the link below and learn the different techniques you can use to search the largest area and find most of the magnetic things.
