FINDMAG Super Strong Neodymium Fishing Magnets Kit, 500 LBS Pulling Force Magnetic Fishing Kit, Diameter 2.36 inch(60 mm) Magnets for Retrieving in River and Magnet Fishing

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. I would definitely buy this again. Please see below for my experience.This is for the Find Mag 600 pound single side fishing magnet.The Pros:Magnet is very strong. I pulled up a crab ring as shown in pic off the side of a crab dock. PIc shows crab ring being held up by the magnet after i got home. As a bonus, there is a little booster seat in the net.Rope seems to be of good quality and has carabiners at both ends of the rope. I only used for about an hour and the carabiners never came loose.This also comes with gloves. They are great to keep your hand from getting hurt from pulling the rope again and again. However, as others have said they are not waterproof. But they are great for gripping the rope.My Concerns:My only issue i had with this is the thread lock that came with it. I applied the thread lock to the threads of the bolt before fastening into the eyelit. AFter 8-12 hours i checked a spot of thread lock that was on some threads sticking out and it was still really wet. It is possible It was too thick or i didn't mix the thread lock well enough in the tube before i used it. Either way, I used some gorilla glue as shown in pic #3 to fasten it more securely.Addition Notes:1. I stuck this on a 1/8" plate of iron or steel and i had a very hard time getting it off. many reviews gave it a bad rating because they tried sticking it against a fridge or tried to pick up various items and said it either won't pick it up or was very weak. For me, it depended on what type of material i was trying to pick up. I had some screwdrivers that the magnet picked up strongly while it barely picked up some wrenches. From what i have read it all depends on the type of metal you are trying to pick up as well as the condition, thickness, etc.2. I would recommend mixing up the thread lock really good in the tube and also having a slight layer on the threads sticking out so you can check to make sure they set and ain't gooey. Otherwise you will need to use a different thread lock.3. I bought this knowing it wouldn't be good for dragging. This is meant for bobbing up and down. Some people have had luck picking up items from dragging but it isn't ideal.4. After using, clean with fresh water and dry. Others have claimed it rusted but mine did not.After a few more usages, i will update this review if there are any issues.Happy hunting everyone!

It's strong enough, but not so much that you can't unstick it. We used it without the thread glue, but had no problems. Didn't find a thing but had fun. Make sure you wear gloves and maybe an apron, especially if the water is a little swampy. You will definitely get pond stink on yourself.

We had just gotten our son a medal detector for his bday per his request. He loves it. So naturally we thought he would enjoy magnet fishing as well. We got it for him for Xmas and upon opening it he immediately knew what it was. (Thanks tik tok) We took it out immediately. The magnet is pretty strong. The length of the rope allowed is to cast off a pretty high bridge. It comes with a clamp so we clamped it to the bridge and didn’t have to worry about tossing the whole thing into the water. My 9 year old son really enjoyed using it. The gloves it came with were big but he still wore them which, had he not he may have gotten som gnarly rope burns. So far just a bunch of rusty nails but we’ll be doing a lot more magnet fishing in the summer off the kayaks. Definitely a good buy for a first timer in magnet fishing.

Loved it

Disappointed with the lack of strength on the magnet.

I bought this as a gift for my brother in law who has mentioned he wanted to try magnet fishing. He was very ecstatic about receiving it. The magnet has good weight to it, feels strong, and doesn’t seem cheap. I like everything the box came with. It was good for the price.

Fishing magnet works well!! Very good and works perfectly

Only used once but was fun trying.
