Magnetic Fishing

Our range

Pulling heavy ferrous metal objects from the murky depths takes a great deal of magnetic power to combat the extra drag created by water and unseen obstacles. Frenergy stocks a wide range of Magnet Fishing magnets to cater to all our customer’s needs. We understand some customers use Fishing Magnets, or Eyelet Magnets as they are otherwise known, to retrieve small metallic objects such as bolts and screws and only require a moderate pull force such as our 5.5kg or 9kg options. Others wish to retrieve large and heavy ferrous items such as bikes, trolleys, trailers and alike. Our range extends right through to 600kg and 1000kg pull force magnets!

You may be asking “What is a pull force?” - this is the greatest holding power that a magnet is able to achieve. Each magnet’s magnetic power is measured in kilograms, this is standardised as a kilogram weight it can hold when adhered with direct surface contact to 10mm thick steel. The 10mm thick steel is the standard as it allows full saturation of the magnetic field which is not necessarily possible with thinner steel.

When it comes to magnetic fishing it can be difficult to determine the best pull force to choose. Fishing magnets must contend with the force of the water and the potential that the ferrous metal item is thin steel or irregular in shape. Fishing magnets are available in extremely strong magnet pull forces to contend with these issues however great care needs to be taken in their handling. Powerful magnets should only be used by experts and it is important safe handling guidelines are read before the item is used. Incorrect handling may result in severe injury.

Our Magnet Fishing Kits are great for magnet fishing beginners as they includes Nylon rope and gloves so you can get started straight away. There are three options available, with a 48mm, 60mm or 75mm diameter pot magnet. The pull force for these magnets is 80kg, 150kg or 200kg respectively.
