Shortened the bolts, put them through, and attached the lifting eyes.First you need a strong magnet with a hole in it, I suggest that it can pull at least 50 kgs 110 lbs The other thing you need is rope.Rope for magnet fishing has to have a tensile strength of at least the same as your magnet.
![]() ![]() Just remember, that to be able to use the magnet for magnet fishing, it should have a hole or an eye. First time I was fishing with small magnets I used fishing line which had a tensile breaking strength of 6 kg. But if you have a 110 kg strong magnet, a fishing line is useless in the fight of a heavy object, unless it is a really strong line The white rope you can see on the picture is just a normal clothesline. When I go magnet fishing, I use that rope of the weakest magnet I have, which can carry 55 kg 110 lbs The black and orange rope you see is Paracord. It has a minimum tensile breaking strength of 550 lbs 250 kg. It has a core of 7 strands which makes it extremely strong and durable. As you can see i have divided the orange rope into 2 x 50 ft because I often fish in shallow waters. The colors doesnt matter at all, but i think the orange rope is easier to find if it breaks at you have to dive into the water to retrieve your magnet. At the same time the rope cannot rot, which means it is perfect for use in water. The rope is thicker than the other two, and you will therefore have a better grip on your rope when pulling up heavy treasures. They say it doesnt hold, because the knots make the rope weak. I have used paracord for magnet fishing in more than three years now, and I have NEVER broken the paracord. If you do not want to use paracord, I suggest you go with the climbing rope. But the setup rig was just not strong enough to use for magnet fishing. Yeah, I have caught a lot of funny stuff, but I have struggled and lost lots of heavy thing the many times I have been going out to magnet fish. Therefore I decided to try and make a stronger rig, which would enable me to get heavier things up from the bottom of the lakes. I bought and Ikea frying pan made from aluminium and stainless steel. The I bought three counter sunk magnets, 3 bolts and 3 lifting eyes with a thread which suited the bolts.
