Let’s break down every Bondi Magnets 360° magnet and help you find your perfect match.

Why 360° Magnets Are the Best Choice

At Bondi Magnets, we only sell 360° magnets because they attract metal from all sides.
That means:

• More finds per throw

• Better chances of catching items hidden in mud

• Stronger hold from any angle
  

360° magnets simply help you find more treasure, it’s that simple.

If you’re fishing in areas that dozens of magnet fishers have already visited, the El Dorado can still find what they missed.
