What would you say a good size is for a beginning

[@jthreeb]

@@frasertv4126 that is hard to tell, it all depends on your strength. But I'd recommend something around a thousand pounds of pull. It's strong enough to get something good, but not too strong that you can't take it off the magnet

[@frasertv4126]

@@jthreeb thank you

[@amberg4131]

So what about someone like me who's like 120 lbs soaking wet with absolute no upper body strength? Would you recommend something like 210 force pull? Or even smaller?

[@jthreeb]

@@amberg4131 You could also go with something a bit higher. It only has that powerful of a hold if the object is completely clean and completely flat. Anything you find in the water has so much corrosion on it, It doesn't make a firm. Connection. Most objects are easier to take off than you'd think

If I throw my magnet into the river and it gets stuck to say, a washing machine or something else that is huge and I have no strength to lift, is there a trick to pry it from the washing machine or can I just lose my magnet like that?

you can use a chain wench, tie it to a tree, poll or something solid and wench it out. Or attach it to your can and pull :)

You're really attractive. The magnet, I mean. You're not bad looking either.

[@jthreeb]

LOL thanks man, Nice pun, i think it will stick!

[@AndyOutdoorsChannel]

Rope disclaimer:do not go with rope that is rated for lighter rated rope than the magnet. Always go with 2-3 times the rating of magnet so you can always retrieve magnet if possibly snagged and to be able to hoist your finds without fail. Plus if rope does get a knot in it the rope can decrease upto 50% of its strength. Also if a section gets a fray and you dont realize it, the strength of rope if less than the magnet gets snagged you can bet it will be lost but if using a rope rated 2-3x the magnet strength there is a good chance you can potentially retrieve it.

[@jthreeb]

Awesome advice!

[@100daystilpay]

To anybody reading this who magnet fishes: Do you sell any fishing gear (hooks, lures, weights, etc.) that you find? If so, where? I magnet fish and find a lot of fishing gear and I wanted to see if I could sell it anywhere.

I would suggest Facebook Marketplace. I find that is a good way to sell things, especially if they're used.

Thank you for the great video. This is probably a stupid question. Is magnet fishing off shore in the water (20 yards or closer to the beach ) a TOTAL waste of time ??? Thanks again !

Nope, people who swim can loose a ton of stuff

[@gssp.]

Where are the best places to do this

In the water! LOL creeks, rivers, bridges. Go to areas where there's not a lot of people, that's where others will dump things, where they can't be seen doing it.

[@coreycarter1695]

I feel I may have gone overkill. I got a bigger magnet than that and you're struggling a bit. I'm almost scared to throw mine in the water now.

[@jthreeb]

LOL it's about leverage, and things in the water won't clip on as hard since there's rust, slime, sand ect in-between as well. You should be ok!

Brute Magnetics’ lowest strength is 575 lbs, is that too much? Seeing you have light trouble pulling a fish hook off of 175 lbs makes 575 seem concerningly high.

That is a 500lbs single sided magnet. There great for dropping straight down. If you want to cast out i recommend a double sided magnet, that way theres more chances to get something.

Best bet, use a double sided magnet, you can use them anywhere, there strong and durable! You can find them at brutemagnetics.com/discount/JTHREEB Use this link and get %10 off.

So, I bought a magnet awhile back...300lb. I think I should have gotten a 100lb one instead, just in case it sticks to a submerged washing machine or whatever and I wouldn't be able to retrieve the magnet. Am I correct in going for a smaller magnet?

[@jthreeb]

I would stick to what you have, 300lb of bull, is only at maximum if you're on a flat smooth clean surface. If you flip onto a washing machine in the water LOL, it'll have corrosion rust sand mud and so much in between. That you won't get a maximum hold on the magnet. You will be able to move it, but the magnet will not get stuck
