Magnet fishing? This is a VERY important video to watch if you ever plan to go magnet fishing for treasure. I go over three important things you need to know about, and show you how to get the magnet unhooked from the bottom if it gets snagged.

I doubt you'll see this as it's an old video, but a tip for if you get snagged.,.,.. get a cheap speaker ring magnet and wrap it in duct tape as they break easy, or a thick washer made or steel or iron etc, and attach a rock climbing type cheap clip to it.... when you snag, clip the metal ring onto your rope hold the rope up so it slides down to the snag, just a little flick will get over any hurdles, and the magnet will spring out of the snag and stick to the metal ring. Works everytime.

Good video I have a thought about how you may improve on your magnet. If you find a plastic funnel and a tube of silicone( exterior calking of any type would work fine I'm sure. Cut the wide end of the funnel to the same size as the magnet and the small end the same as the screw shaft on the mag. Because of the eye you would also need to cut down the length of the funnel.(if the eye on your magnet were smaller then it may be slipped over the eye by only cutting a small silt at the small end and feeding the rope through) Now slip the funnel in place and sue tape to reseal the cut. Next tape it to the magnet temporarily while filling the funnel with the silicone. Let it cure for as long as necessary to allow the silicone to set totally, I would think 3-4 weeks in a warm dry location (you don't want it in your living space as it probably isn't good to breath the fumes that will come off) I don't do magnet fishing as there is little to no chance of finding much where I live. I do think this would work well and prevent a lot of hang ups GL&HH I really hope this helps someone.

Easiest way to get magnet or fishing lure back. Have extra rope on hand for this tie a 2 liter bottle 3/4 full of water close as you can to magnet stuck in the water on the magnet fishing rope have and then tie another line if need for enough to throw the bottle of water in another direction thus pulling the magnet in a direction that you could not otherwise access without some sort of watercraft or getting wet. This hasnt failed yet for getting my magnets unstuck. Great video by the way and great tips.

Hi Beau. Mostly good advice. The only thing different I would suggest is, attach the rope to something on the river bank, not yourself. Theres always something to attach to, wether its a tree, railing, old person or small child, just look around and see. So far I've mostly found rubbish, but I've started doing research so hopefully next year, I will find something a little bit more interesting. I opted for climbing rope with a breaking strain of 3500kg doubled up, how you tie your knot, and checking the condition of the rope is important. If all is well, I will break before my rope does. Stay safe, healthy, happy, contented and making youtube videos my friend. Happy new year.

I have learned a great trick from bass fishing fishing that may apply to magnet fishing. When snagged i get the line taught and pull and pop it immediately followed by slack. The pop travels down the line and the frees the lures and the slack allows it to fall. Takes a while to master but 60% of the time it works 100% of the time.

Good tips. I just got into magnet fishing and I'm applying my #1 normal fishing rule to it. Always bring my sit on top kayak.

HI Beau , Nice informative video once again. While looking at your magnet and hook assembly i had an idea that could help minimise its tendency to snag itself. I guess by putting the hook straight trough one of those orange plastic ball , like the one that kids play hockey with, it would divert most object from the flat spot of the magnet. Just a random idea but i ghuess it might work good with your magnet assembly. :) YMMV .

Good video +Beau Ouimette but possibly 2 suggestions for you. 1. No matter how you tie poly line you can never keep it from untying eventually. The proper way to to attach poly line to say an anchor or a magnet requires a splicing fid. It never weakens the rope and makes it similar to one of those Chinese finger locks the kids play with. The more pressure you apply to pull your fingers out the tighter it gets. A splicing fid uses the same principle and if done properly the rope will never come off the item. The fids are maybe a whole dollar and come in sizes that match the rope. There are plenty of videos to show how to properly use a fid. 2.Before attaching the rope find a plastic cone about the same size as the base of the magnet, side it over the rope and then fid the rope to the magnet. That will at least take care most of the tangles. It will allow the cone to work it's way past the snag before the magnet gets stuck. These are just some old boating tricks and would probably work for the magnets too! Happy New Year!

@CurtisTracker 8 жыл бұрын

Hey Beau, another idea to try would be to get a buoy with a carabiner attached to it and run the rope through the carabiner so it will slide freely, it might help get the magnet free easier when you can't walk the bank.

@glenpierce777 8 жыл бұрын

Great tips Beau. One more thing, if you get a snag and you're pulling hard on the rope, be careful that it doesn't suddenly come free and shoot back in your face. This sometimes happens with fishing lines and is more common than you would think. Peace out.

@SpiritBear12 8 жыл бұрын

+Glen Pierce It happens with fishing lines because the fishing pole is bent like a bow and storing energy, as is the fishing line. When your hook suddenly comes free, that bent fishing pole and line will of course spring straight back and that's what helps shoot that hook filled lure out of the water right at you. It's happened to me on more than one occasion. But when yanking on a rope you're not storing that same kind of energy. Also a magnet like that is fairly heavy too, so it's not going to come flying out of the water as easily as a light weight fishing lure tied to really thin stretchy line will.

@SpiritBear12 8 жыл бұрын

David Hicks OK, new magnet rules. Don't tie them to stretchy ropes. Don't pull them with ATVs Wear a goalie mask in case one flies out of the water.

What if you took a funnel and after tying the rope, slide the funnel down onto the magnet with the rope through it. It would act like a flare making it harder to tangle. Might have to attach the funnel to the magnet somehow or use a metal funnel

This is my concern, losing magnet! Thinking running second line for opposite direction pull when caught up! This should make your day, Dude! I scuba dive an interested in how magnet draws along the bottom for best results? When drug by rope through eye bolt magnet draws along the bottom on its side (not good for attachments)! Might be better tying knot in middle of line! Then draw from your short side now. So magnet is drawn from magnet surface parallel to magnet bottom. Then line going through eye is for back draw pulling out of tree snags or both together for double strength! (When making loop knot on eye bolt shaft, fill shaft with loops so loops go from eyebolt to magnet face, keeping line always along magnet face!)

@downunderwest2501 8 жыл бұрын

Give this a try Beau. Feed the end of the rope up inside of that rope for about 12 inches then pull and the rope wont need a knot at all. Also use a cut plastic bottle like a inverted funnel covering the top end of the magnet and ring, this makes it a bit more smooth when pulling and prevents most snagging between rocks.
