  • Magnet fishing? This is a VERY important video to watch if you ever plan to go magnet fishing for treasure. I go over three important things you need to know about, and show you how to get the magnet unhooked from the bottom if it gets snagged.

    I doubt you'll see this as it's an old video, but a tip for if you get snagged.,.,.. get a cheap speaker ring magnet and wrap it in duct tape as they break easy, or a thick washer made or steel or iron etc, and attach a rock climbing type cheap clip to it.... when you snag, clip the metal ring onto your rope hold the rope up so it slides down to the snag, just a little flick will get over any hurdles, and the magnet will spring out of the snag and stick to the metal ring. Works everytime.

    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.

    Good video I have a thought about how you may improve on your magnet.
    If you find a plastic funnel and a tube of silicone( exterior calking of any type would work fine I'm sure. Cut the wide end of the funnel to the same size as the magnet and the small end the same as the screw shaft on the mag. Because of the eye you would also need to cut down the length of the funnel.(if the eye on your magnet were smaller then it may be slipped over the eye by only cutting a small silt at the small end and feeding the rope through) Now slip the funnel in place and sue tape to reseal the cut. Next tape it to the magnet temporarily while filling the funnel with the silicone. Let it cure for as long as necessary to allow the silicone to set totally, I would think 3-4 weeks in a warm dry location (you don't want it in your living space as it probably isn't good to breath the fumes that will come off)
    I don't do magnet fishing as there is little to no chance of finding much where I live. I do think this would work well and prevent a lot of hang ups GL&HH
    I really hope this helps someone.

    @gurubryant Před 8 lety +83

    Seeing this video makes me thing it might also help to put a 16 ounce soda bottle on the line to cover the knot and eyebolt. That might just reduce the chances of getting stuck.

  • @aspudkicker
    @aspudkicker Před 8 lety +19

    Hi Beau.
    Mostly good advice. The only thing different I would suggest is, attach the rope to something on the river bank, not yourself. Theres always something to attach to, wether its a tree, railing, old person or small child, just look around and see.
    So far I've mostly found rubbish, but I've started doing research so hopefully next year, I will find something a little bit more interesting.
    I opted for climbing rope with a breaking strain of 3500kg doubled up, how you tie your knot, and checking the condition of the rope is important. If all is well, I will break before my rope does.
    Stay safe, healthy, happy, contented and making youtube videos my friend.
    Happy new year.

    I seem to have eliminated snagging,... by making a metal funnel which is upside-down on the magnet, held on the rope with a dab of silicon.
    You then are pulling up on a permanent 'taper"
    Happy hunting guys!!

  • @vener6
    @vener6 Před 8 lety +10

    HI Beau , Nice informative video once again. While looking at your magnet and hook assembly i had an idea that could help minimise its tendency to snag itself. I guess by putting the hook straight trough one of those orange plastic ball , like the one that kids play hockey with, it would divert most object from the flat spot of the magnet. Just a random idea but i ghuess it might work good with your magnet assembly. :) YMMV .

  • @djkrazykaly

    I have learned a great trick from bass fishing fishing that may apply to magnet fishing. When snagged i get the line taught and pull and pop it immediately followed by slack. The pop travels down the line and the frees the lures and the slack allows it to fall. Takes a while to master but 60% of the time it works 100% of the time.

    Good tips. I just got into magnet fishing and I'm applying my #1 normal fishing rule to it. Always bring my sit on top kayak. I have never lost a sinker rig or lure bc I can get multiple angles on it to free the line. However that red grade thread lock is rule #1 for magnet fishing. Thanks for the video.

    Easiest way to get magnet or fishing lure back. Have extra rope on hand for this tie a 2 liter bottle 3/4 full of water close as you can to magnet stuck in the water on the magnet fishing rope have and then tie another line if need for enough to throw the bottle of water in another direction thus pulling the magnet in a direction that you could not otherwise access without some sort of watercraft or getting wet. This hasnt failed yet for getting my magnets unstuck. Great video by the way and great tips.

  • @glenpierce777
    @glenpierce777 Před 8 lety +26

    Great tips Beau. One more thing, if you get a snag and you're pulling hard on the rope, be careful that it doesn't suddenly come free and shoot back in your face. This sometimes happens with fishing lines and is more common than you would think. Peace out.

    • @SpiritBear12
      @SpiritBear12 Před 8 lety +4

      +Glen Pierce
      It happens with fishing lines because the fishing pole is bent like a bow and storing energy, as is the fishing line. When your hook suddenly comes free, that bent fishing pole and line will of course spring straight back and that's what helps shoot that hook filled lure out of the water right at you. It's happened to me on more than one occasion. But when yanking on a rope you're not storing that same kind of energy. Also a magnet like that is fairly heavy too, so it's not going to come flying out of the water as easily as a light weight fishing lure tied to really thin stretchy line will.

    • @SpiritBear12
      @SpiritBear12 Před 8 lety +1

      David Hicks
      OK, new magnet rules.
      Don't tie them to stretchy ropes.
      Don't pull them with ATVs
      Wear a goalie mask in case one flies out of the water.

  • @Biffo1262
    @Biffo1262 Před 6 lety

    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.
