The Magnetic Net Retriever is a handy tool for anglers designed to easily retrieve lost fishing nets, weights, or other metal gear from the water. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
1. Strong Magnet – Typically uses a neodymium magnet (rare-earth magnet) for powerful attraction to metal objects.
2. Durable Rope – Comes with a heavy-duty cord (often nylon or braided rope) for easy retrieval.
3. Corrosion-Resistant – Made with rust-proof materials (stainless steel or coated magnets) for long-lasting use.
4. Compact & Portable – Lightweight and easy to store in a tackle box or boat.
5. Versatile Use – Can pick up hooks, sinkers, lures, or even small tools dropped in the water.
How It Works:
– Lower the magnet into the water near where you suspect lost gear is located.
– Drag it along the bottom to attract and retrieve metal objects.
– Pull up the rope to collect your retrieved items.
Best Uses:
✔ Fishing piers, docks, or boats – Great for deep or murky water.
✔ Ice fishing – Helps recover gear lost under ice.
✔ Kayak/canoe anglers – Compact and easy to carry.
Considerations:
– Works only on ferrous metals (iron, steel)—won’t pick up aluminum, brass, or plastic.
– Strong magnets may damage electronics (keep away from phones, fish finders).
– Some models have a release mechanism to easily detach retrieved items.
