Magnet Fishing Kits

Everything you need to start magnet fishing

Every kit here is assembled by Bondi Treasure Hunter so that one box contains the whole setup. No missing pieces, no weak link that fails on the first heavy pull, and no working out which rope suits which magnet. Each item has been used and approved in rivers, canals, harbours and lakes before it made the list.

Whether this is your first magnet or an upgrade from gear that let you down, a kit gets you to the water ready to throw.

What is inside every Bondi magnet fishing kit

The magnet
A 360 degree neodymium magnet in the strength you choose, magnetic across its whole body rather than on one face.

The rope
Rated for the magnet it ships with: 8 mm for the Nugget and Jackpot, 10 mm for the Bondi Gold and Holy Moly. Water-repellent, with a stainless carabiner at each end, and it still unties after a day in the water.

The grappling hook
For large or awkward finds that a magnet cannot hold on its own. Bikes and safes tend to lever themselves off a magnet right at the surface, which is exactly when a hook saves the recovery.

Waterproof gloves
Grippy and protective. Rusted metal and wet rope are both worse on bare hands than people expect.

The Bondi Extra Tough XL bucket
For carrying gear out and finds back, so nothing gets left on the bank.

Magnet cover, foam travel cover and Loctite
The cover protects the pulling face, the foam cover makes transport safe, and the Loctite secures the eyelet so it cannot work loose under load.

Which kit should you choose

Kits are built around the four magnet strengths. Pick on where you fish, not on the biggest number:

• The Nugget Kit, 760 kg. Best first kit. Light enough to throw all day, easy to free when it snags, and strong enough for genuine finds. Ideal for ponds, small rivers and learning the technique.
• The Jackpot Kit, 1080 kg. Our most popular kit and the usual choice for adults starting properly. Comfortable in canals and around docks.
• The Bondi Gold Kit, 1460 kg. The best all-rounder, built around the magnet Bondi fishes with himself. Ships with 10 mm rope for deep canals and heavier targets.
• The Holy Moly Kit, 1800 kg. Maximum power, for experienced fishers only. Not a first kit.

Why buy a kit instead of separate pieces

Buying individually means researching rope ratings, hook sizes and glove types, then paying full price for each. A kit costs less than the sum of its parts, everything is matched to the magnet it ships with, and it arrives pre-assembled in one delivery. There is nothing to work out before your first throw.

Built for beginners, trusted by experienced fishers

Nothing in these kits is a starter-grade compromise. The rope, hook and gloves that come with the Nugget Kit are the same quality as the ones in the Holy Moly Kit; only the strength changes. So the kit you start with stays useful when you upgrade the magnet.

Common questions

What comes in a magnet fishing kit?

A 360 degree neodymium magnet, a rope rated for it with carabiners, a three-point grappling hook, waterproof gloves, the Bondi Extra Tough XL bucket, a magnet cover, a foam travel cover and Loctite. It arrives pre-assembled.

Which magnet fishing kit is best for beginners?

The Nugget Kit at 760 kg for a first time out, or the Jackpot Kit at 1080 kg if you already know you will stick with it. Both are easy to control, which matters more early on than raw pull.

Does the kit include a grappling hook?

Yes, every kit includes a three-point grappling hook. It is what recovers non-magnetic finds and takes the strain on heavy lifts.

Do you ship magnet fishing kits to the UK, Australia and Canada?

Yes, we ship worldwide with tracking. Local carriers cover the Netherlands and Belgium, FedEx everywhere else. US orders ship DAP, so import duties are paid on arrival. Add a kit to your cart to see the exact delivery cost to your address.

Do I need a permit to magnet fish?

It depends on your country and on who controls the water, and it is not always the answer people expect. Read our permits and laws guide before your first trip.
