THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF NEODYME MAGNETS

The CLASSIC magnets: one single action face, only one lifting eye. They are ideal for fishing vertically from a bridge or a well. They are less recommended for drag fishing (the most common). Magnetar offers different strengths: Classic magnets 150 kg, 250 kg, 350 kg, 450 kg and 550 kg. This range is suitable for the whole family. 

Magnet Fishing

Magnetar Bulldog magnets are the benchmark in this category and stand out from other double-sided magnets by offering 2 lifting rings allowing you to fish either vertically or by dragging. It is available in 2 powers: the Magnetar Bulldog 400 kg (2x200kg) magnet and the Magnetar Bulldog 800 kg (2 × 400 kg) magnet. Intended for adults only. 

DOUBLE BOMB magnets: This is a system allowing to link together 2 magnets of 130 kg each. Ideal for vertical fishing. Not recommended for drag fishing. This system is excellent for removing bulky objects from the water, which are difficult to extract with a Classic magnet due to size and weight. The Double Bomb system offers a better grip on the object and has a total attraction force of 260 kg. Suitable for the whole family, children, and adults.

Magnet Fishing

360 ° magnets: they are distinguished from all other magnets by their specificities: they magnetize at 360 °,i.e.over their entire mass and with the same force of attraction. Whether the front, back, and sides, the entire surface of the magnet is active. This offers formidable efficiency in the water.  They are also the magnets that offer the greatest force of attraction, with an extremely strong magnetic field that is simply mind-blowing! As a result, they magnetized metallic objects very far. Even if you are not precise in your throw, if there is a metallic object nearby, the the360 ° magnet will hang on to it or cause it to move! They have a single lifting eye. Ideal for all types of fishing (vertical or drag). Intended for adults only. There are different sizes of 360 ° magnets. The larger the magnet, the greater its power and attraction force: Easy, Hardcore, Terror, Beast are the different 360 ° magnets offered by Magnetar.
