The Problem: Missed Finds and Wasted Casts

If you’ve ever gone magnet fishing only to come up empty-handed after multiple casts, you know the frustration. Standard single-sided magnets work well—if they land perfectly flat on your target. But in moving water, rocky terrain, or uneven lakebeds, that ideal connection is hard to achieve. Many objects end up slipping away simply because your magnet didn’t make enough contact.

 

The Solution: A Double-Sided Fishing Magnet

A double-sided fishing magnet eliminates this guesswork. With two powerful magnetic faces, you increase your chances of making contact with submerged metal, no matter how the magnet lands. The additional grabbing surface means more consistent retrieval results, less repositioning after each cast, greater coverage in less time. This simple design upgrade can turn a day of “almosts” into a day of real, tangible finds.

Why the Apex Magnets Double-Sided Retrieval Magnet Stands Out

At Apex Magnets, we’ve designed our Double-Sided Retrieval Magnet to be as versatile as it is durable:

  • Two removable drop-forged eye bolts let you attach your rope from the top for vertical drops or from the side for dragging sweeps. 
  • Pull force strong enough to haul in heavy tools, scrap metal, or other submerged debris. Note: It’s important to choose the right strength for your conditions. Deeper water or strong currents add downward pressure, which means you’ll need more pull force to bring your finds to the surface.  
  • Compact size that’s easy to handle without sacrificing strength. 

Whether you’re a weekend hobbyist or a professional cleanup crew, this magnet gives you more options in the field.

Tips for Getting the Best Results

  1. Choose the right rope – Match the rope’s strength rating to the magnet’s pull force for safe retrieval. 
  2. Wear gloves – Protect your hands from rope burns and sharp finds. 
  3. Vary your angles – Use the side-mounted eye bolt for dragging sweeps along the bottom, then switch to top-mount for vertical lifts. 
  4. Go slow – Moving too quickly can cause you to skip over smaller metal items. 
  5. Check local regulations – Some areas may restrict magnet fishing or require permits. 

Troubleshooting Common Retrieval Issues

  • Magnet slips off target – Slow your sweep and ensure you’re making full contact; consider using a stronger pull force magnet for heavy items. 
  • Too much debris – If you’re pulling up excess nails or scrap, clean the magnet between casts to maintain strength. 
  • Snagged rope – Use a carabiner or rope float to help prevent tangling on underwater obstacles. 

If you’re tired of missed finds and wasted casts, upgrading to a double-sided fishing magnet is one of the easiest ways to boost your retrieval success. By increasing surface contact, reducing repositioning, and giving you multiple retrieval angles, our Apex Magnets Double-Sided Retrieval Magnet delivers real results for hobbyists and professionals alike.

Magnets can be dangerous. Neodymium magnets, especially, must be handled with care to avoid personal injury and damage to the magnets. Fingers and other body parts can get severely pinched between two attracting magnets. Bones can be broken by larger magnets.
