Collection: Beginner Magnets

As the name suggests, magnet fishing is fishing with a magnet. However, a magnet fisherman does not fish for fish but for metal, hence the magnet ;).

What do you need for this? Mainly a good fishing magnet and a sturdy rope. Once the magnet is securely tied to the rope, you throw the magnet as far into the water as possible. Then you pull in the rope, and discover what the magnet has grabbed. Voila, now you are a magnet fisher!

The most important item you need when it comes to magnet fishing is of course a magnet. Fishing Magnets are magnetic on ALL SIDES and this is very important as most magnets are only magnetic on two sides. These one and two-sided magnets are significantly weaker and are not made for magnet fishing, even though they are often advertised as fishing magnets. To enjoy your new hobby and ensure you are going to find treasure, it’s important to get the right magnet as it is the most important piece of equipment after all.

You can catch anything that’s made of magnetic metal but also many things that get tangled up in metal objects or are hidden inside something metal. You will be amazed just how many non-magnetic things you will find as well metal objects. Coins, bicycles, motorbikes, firearms or even safes! We know people who found jewellery and gemstones in safes they fished up so everything is possible when you’re out magnet fishing, which is what makes this hobby so exciting.

Yes and no. Virtually any strong magnet could be used but the chances of success will be a lot less. For effective magnet fishing, you need a 360 neodymium magnet which is both heavy and powerful. This type of magnet pulls on all sides, so you will find much more and that’s the point, right? All magnets sold by Bondi Magnets are 360 neodymium magnets made especially for magnet fishing.
