Beast Magnets 1,320lbs Magnet Fishing Kit

A buddy of mine swears by this 1320 lb magnet fishing kit. He picked it up off Amazon because it came as a full setup — magnet, rope, grappling hook, gloves, the works — all packed in a hard case. He didn’t want to mess around buying things separately or guessing what he’d need.

He said setup took five minutes. The magnet comes pre-threaded with an eye bolt, and the 65-foot rope has a locking carabiner already attached. He threw it off a dock near a riverbank and immediately latched onto an old wrench. It wasn’t some miracle haul, but it was enough to get him hooked.

He said the magnet isn’t too heavy, but it feels solid. That double-sided design means he doesn’t have to think too much about how it lands in the water — it grabs metal from either face.

The grappling hook came in handy too, especially when he snagged something big that wouldn’t budge with just the magnet. Tossing both down together gave him a better shot at leverage. He also appreciated the cut-resistant gloves, especially when dragging the rope through rocky areas.

One thing he warned me about: while it’s strong, 660 lb per side isn’t industrial-grade. Some smaller metal bits pop off if they’re not flat or have weird angles. But for a beginner kit? It’s more than enough to keep you entertained and pulling stuff from the water.
