Neodymium fishing magnets, 32 mm

If you want to retrieve ferrous objects from water, a fishing magnet is a more targeted tool than a general-purpose magnet. This six-pack uses neodymium magnets for that job.

Each magnet is 32 mm in diameter and has a countersunk hole with an eyebolt. That gives you a point to attach a line for lowering and retrieving it.

The listing states an 80 lb pulling force in normal use, but that figure shouldn’t be treated as a guarantee of what you’ll recover from a riverbed. The object and how the magnet meets it matter.

How to use it

Attach a suitable line to the eyebolt, lower the magnet into the water, then draw it along the area you want to search. Picture working from the bank and pulling it back in after it passes over the bottom: the aim is to make contact with metal that responds to a magnet, such as iron or nickel. It won’t retrieve every lost object, so the material of the item is the first thing to consider.

The steel cup covers the opposite side of the magnet, while the magnetic force is concentrated at the bottom, according to the manufacturer. The magnets also have a nickel-copper-nickel coating, described as water-resistant and corrosion-resistant. That may suit repeated use around water, though the listing doesn’t give care instructions or a service-life estimate. Rinse and dry equipment after use as a sensible precaution, rather than assuming a coating makes it maintenance-free.

What are you hoping to bring up? If it’s a magnetic object, this design has a clear use, if it’s a non-ferrous item, a stronger pull won’t solve the mismatch.

Pros

The pack includes six compact magnets, which gives you spares or the option to set aside magnets for different lines. The countersunk hole and eyebolt provide an attachment point, and the protective steel cup is intended to shield the brittle rare-earth magnet. The stated 80 lb pulling force gives a reference point, but actual retrieval results can vary with the object and contact conditions.

It suits you if you’re interested in magnet fishing, retrieving suitable metal from water, or using a magnet for lifting, hanging, or recycling tasks. Compared with buying one larger magnet, this pack gives you several individual units, that’s useful if having multiples matters more than choosing a single larger format. The listing doesn’t specify rope, so factor in sourcing an appropriate line separately.

What I’d decide

For someone starting with magnetic retrieval or wanting several small magnets for suitable metal-finding tasks, the attachment design and six-piece pack are the practical draws. The key trade-off is that the stated pull force doesn’t tell you how a magnet will perform on a particular object underwater, and the listing provides no rope or detailed use guidance. No te compensa si the items you want to recover aren’t magnetic, or if you need a specified line, size, or tested retrieval performance before choosing. Otherwise, decide based on the 32 mm size and the type of metal you expect to find, not the pull-force figure alone.
