I've seen some guys use a plastic water bottle with the bottom cut out, slid down the rope & glued to the magnet. This puts a bullet shape above the magnet to help stop snagging. Also put keepers on your magnets at home so they don't lose magnetism. You can also tie a weight to the end & use it to throw the rope across the water to the other bank so you can cross a bridge or whatever & yank it from the other direction.
If your dragging against the current and you get caught, you can thread a n empty plastic bottle with a handle onto the line, give out slack,and let it drift out on the current to below where the magnet is caught and it should lift it out also
You never tell us where your at or share your locations with us guys who just need to be pointed somewhere we can use our detectors and find something nice. We don't have your experience and knowledge of all the places you go to and what good does it for us to watch you pull up all this neat stuff when you leave us out here feeling like hungry dogs watching a lion inside a fence eating a leg of lamb all by itself.
You can't flip a rope in water ! Use raw lever power and rip that tree out …. the rope ain't gonna snap .Put a long wagon hitch around a tree and put some pressure on it then hope your knot holds out .
UK Fire Services handbook states the properties of a good knot are –
1. Should be easy to tie and easy to untie. 2. Should not damage the line. 3. Must serve the purpose for which it was designed.
Mechanical abrasion is the enemy of all lines. Mildew is the enemy of natural fibre lines. My own suggestion is this;. do not use any line for too long as damage can be invisible to the named eye. Test it with a given weight pull before use. With a set length of line reverse it so it is connected at the other end for half its life. Dry the line naturally after use. We tested lines to the extreme and always treated them with great care as our lives and the public's lives depended on them. Our rescue lines were tested by gradually applying the pull of six men to each end of the line followed by a visual inspection. Your magnet fishing line will see harder and more constant use than most rescue lines sonic you don't want to lose that very expensive magnet be kind to your line. Just to be a little pedantic you are not using a ROPE. A role is a measure of length during manufacture. Ropes were made on 'ropewalks' and are 720ft long. Any length cut from a 720ft 'rope' is known as a 'line'. Not that it matter; just one of those useless bits of information firefighters are taught.
Thanks Aquachigger your tips have saved me a few times in my short time fishing I have liked and subscribed to your channel I'm just starting out making YouTube videos so please feel free to check them That's Lucy and return the favour like and subscribe to my channel please.
Hello mate- just curious, what is the name of the magnet and any suggestions of where to purchase? Thanks! And ps, I'm in Australia, but can purchase and ship from USA if required. Thanks!
Horrible beginners bad luck- today I made my very first toss into the river and the magnet got snagged on something. I tied my rope to a tree and went home. I've done all the side to side walking along the bank. The water is one of those brown colored rivers, full of runoff, so I'm not diving in for it. Later today I'm going back with my kayak and will position myself directly over the spot and hope I can get the magnet loose. What a pain in the butt.
Im a magnet fishing virgin im gonna try it on the weekend I recently found some climbing rope with hooks on each end so going to use that I'll remember that advice to walk sideways
Would it not make sense to have a magnet with a hole all the way thru, run the rope thru it and attach the rope to "something" on the other side. That way the magnet is free to turn sideways and maybe less prone to snag. With the stem holding the magnet kind of rigid, it's kind of like an anchor and not as free to turn and shed snags.
Well done tutorial. Reminds me of the way they trained me in the military– tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you told them.
What about stringing a plastic funnel through it so it is deflecting all snagging protrusions?
Just slip the funnel through the rope with the wide end toward the magnet. Trim off the excess width and secure in place .. should help quite a lot for very little money.
deem u actually don,t need big ass magnet for these stuff… 😛 there,s allot of unexplored wells and rivers, lakes where i live so i have hook in my lip now 😛

Super catch you didn't shit
2 years magnet fishing and I still never caught a magnet. What am I doing wrong?
thanks for the video
Great video. What magnets are best?
Nicely done video.
Where to buy a good magnet?

Hey aqua, when are you going out again? Would like to see another magnet video.
Great vid
if there was a sort of cone mounted to cover the hook, the magnet wouldnt stuck at all.
mab this could just be the top of a plastic bottle.
That is awesome man glad to see you having fun.Thanks for all the tips. If you ever need supplies or knowledge check out

I am using 1,800 lb mule tape or bull line
where did u get that specific magnet?
Thank you
What pound pulling force of magnet do you use for something simple like for finding fishing lures?

Hey, Aguachigger
Where did you buy a strong magnet and rope? Thanks
For fun*
Thanks watch this last night. 2nd throw with my new magnet got caught up! Went up on to the bridge and forward came out! Thanks bro

Did you know you can thread the end of that yellow rope into itself, works like a chinese finger trap…no knots needed.

I used some of your tips and went out and had some fun! Thanks! great channel!
Nice ?video i will suscribe???
Is a 95lbs magnet from ace hardware strong enough too suit my needs?

It's called a uli knot bro
I watched 2 of your videos and still didn't get to see any action.
deem u actually don,t need big ass magnet for these stuff… 😛
there,s allot of unexplored wells and rivers, lakes where i live so i have hook in my lip now 😛
you start to acting now！
Why can't you use something like a heavy duty fishing pole and spyder wire? What weight pull is a good beginners magnet?
link to where to buy one?
Why not use a bottle top to turn the magnet shape to a triangle rather than flat ?
Just shy of 11 minutes to explain that? Unbelievable.
