Well, magnet fishing is not a task where people catch fish with magnets. It’s almost like treasure hunting underwater. Pulling up ferromagnetic objects from deep inside of water with a powerful neodymium magnet is called magnet fishing.
It’s a hobby. Besides, there are chances you can earn from it while having fun. This hobby allows you to explore new things and facts. It also helps to learn the history and life of people from the past. When you are getting a new thing, you’re learning this is the thing they used before to do this. Isn’t that great?
However, though magnet fishing is a great activity, it has some rules and regulations to maintain. Many lands have laws of magnet fishing.
Let’s talk about some basic steps of magnet fishing which will help you to get started.
Grab your essential pieces of gear. A powerful magnet which contains the maximum force and a hook to attach a rope. A bright color rope which will last longer.
Learn how to tie knots.
Before you throw your magnet for hunting, test it on dry land first.
Find a suitable location for magnet fishing. Don’t go to a place where magnet fishing is prohibited.
Lastly, throw your magnet at the lake or drop and drag it at canals.
Before you start, make sure there are no local laws for magnet fishing.
Always store your rope on the appropriate winder.
Don’t disturb other fishermen.
Preserve the items you got. Don’t throw them back.
Before you start, practice your knots.
Find the best place to magnet fish.
In it’s most basic form it is tiing a rope onto a magnet by way of some type of loop and then tossing the magnet into a body of water and pulling it back to yourself and hopefully attracted to a magnet a Civil War belt buckle.
CMS has a video that may be seen on Youtube in which wae actually co out and so some magnet fishing. It was a hot day indeed but we wanted to so how how it is done. We used several different magnets that day as well as a parachute type cord that ran at about 230 lbs tensile strength.We also did not “catch” a whole bunch (we did find a pretty cool gear thing).
but we had some fun doing it
There are some things that can be done to increase your chances of a “great catch”.
Look for a body of water that has been there for awhile. It stands to reason that if given more time to fill up with the “good” stuff so you may find it later.
Select a site that has some traffic near it. Find a waterway that is not way out where you are going to have to walk for 10 miles to get to.
Find an area close to a bridge that does have some vehicle traffic on it. People throw all kinds of metallic items off of bridges over the years. Maybe solve a murder by finding “the murder weapon”.
Find a place with some historical significance. Maybe a battleground or a large pond behind a homestead that was settled in 1840.
Magnet fishing may not be just a chance to commune with nature and chance on a relic from the past. There from time to time is a is a specific purpose behind it. Two gentleman came huffing and puffing into our office one day and told us that they had accidentally dropped a drill bit down a hole being drilled for petroleum extraction. They looked more than a little nervous and with good reason. They told us their supervisor did know know about it yet and that the part ran somewhere around $40K. They did buy a jhjhro in fact they purchased 2 of them just in case they lost one of them.
A few hours later they came back and told us that they had indeed retrieved the item and they even had told their supervisor about it. They said it was much easier telling him about it after they had the bit back. Best $30 bucks they ever spent. Oh they did not use the second fishing magnet and we cheerfully refunded their money for the unused magnet.
Fishing magnets used for magnet fishing are what is called in the industry as cup magnets or magnets. These are magnets encased in a steel cup which has the effect of focussing the power of the magnet, instead of radiating in all 4 directions to a single direction.
Then they may either have a male or female thread on them and in the case of CMS they are heavilly reinforced to take the either male or female threaded hook to tie the rope off to. Most people order the magnets with a closed loop instead of the open hook just to be sure it comes back.
Which magnet should you choose for your fishing trip? There are a couple of common sence things that you may want to think about.
These are monster magnet fishing magnets. This Neodymium fishing magnets are amazingly powerful for their size and have innumerable uses. This fishing magnet are 2.95" in diameter X 0.71" Thick, encased in steel and have an ultra reinforced connection ring & stud.
What makes best magnet for magnet fishing? This is how we see it at CMS: The best magnet fishing magnets have a reinforced stud. Unless the area where the stud enters the fishing magnets casing is double reinforced, you may lose your fishing magnet just due to catastrophic mechanical failure.
The best magnets for magnet fishing are in the medium weight range. The reasoning for this is the fishing magnets need to be strong in order to attach itself to the metal underneath all of the silt at the bottom of the lake. However, if it is too strong (more than about 500 lbs) and attaches to something large you may not be able to bring it in. The other part to this is that the parachute cord typically used for magnet fishing magnets is rated at 550 lbs. tensile strength.
There is a not so new craze spreading through the country. It is magnet fishing. In its most basic form it is tying a rope onto a fishing magnet by way of some type of loop. Find yourself a suitable body of water Then tossing the fishing magnet into a body of water and pulling it back to yourself and hopefully attracted to a magnet a Civil War belt buckle.

Some bodies of water that have been recently created may have a bunch of trees that have not fallen apart yet and these may cause you to lose you fishing magnet. If you can see into the water so much the better
