Very weak magnet best in my review

Not a strong magnet, but will pick up tiny bits of rusty nails or what looks like metal shavings. Good news is that you can stick it flush on a piece of iron and it will hold in place without sliding down too much for storage.

Pros
  • Got what we wanted. Good purchase.
Cons
  • The price may be too high for some consumers

Magent not as strong as would be led to believe

Wasn't what we thought. If fishing where know a lot of metal would be better. We went in out towns river & only caught rebar

Pros
  • The kit had all the items I needed. Nice equipment.
Cons
  • The kit may be too cumbersome to use in certain environments

First time using one, lifted my 45lb plate no problem.

Don’t even listen to the negative reviews this thing is awesome, I was able to lift my 45lb plate and it was still tough to get off, I’m sure this thing could pull up probably 4x that before it’s not strong enough. Those other reviews where they say it’s not strong are lies.

Pros
  • Good product, fast shipping
Cons
  • The kit may be too heavy for some users to handle comfortably

works but a puke be stronger

doesn't hold heavy metal things in water. It is hard to find things because it's so small- lot of ground to cover. The kit may not come with clear instructions on how to use it properly.

Pros
  • Collecting nails from driveway
Cons
  • The kit may not come with clear instructions on how to use it properly

Good quality hook good for me

Very sturdy grappling hook! I used it to remove an old car tire from the lake in front of my house. It weighed 80+ pounds since it was full of mud but this hook pulled it up and didn’t bend at all.The rope is also very nice.The magnet is super strong and high quality as well, but I have yet to use it.

Pros
  • The neodymium magnets used in the kit are super strong and reliable, ensuring successful retrievals every time.
Cons
  • The gloves may be too thick for some users to handle smaller items

Not powerful enough.

Multiple test done in a controlled water setting (pool), pond/lake banks, off bridges ect as well as the same 25lb iron bar used in each. The pool test was fine. Magnet hooked on and it was an average of 70% of the pool test would hold and retrieve the iron bar. 30% the magnet failed. Ponds/lakes and bridges 100% fail. Dirt, and magnetic materials will stick and create further gaps between magnet surface resulting in failure.Overall, if your trying magnet fishing for the first time, and would…

Pros
  • Be careful with it. Against the law in my state.
Cons
  • The grappling hooks may not be able to withstand heavy weights

Exactly what is described

not sure why amazon asks for "stretch, thickness and sturdiness" for a magnet but ok.It is smaller in person than you think, and a LOT smaller than what you see the dudes on youtube using.It does exactly what it is supposed to do and is very strong. the hook is also well made. the carabiner is also kinda cheap feeling

Pros
  • After Sales
Cons
  • The magnets may not be strong enough to lift heavy objects

Works like it should

Works good for me! I love e the option to use the side of the magnet or the bottom. Honestly I haven’t even used the grappling hook. Seems to be very well put together though.

Pros
  • With a 100FT rope, the MHDMAG Double Sided Magnet Fishing Kit allows for long-range and deep-water fishing.
Cons
  • The kit may not be suitable for use in fast-moving water

Magnet is Amazing. - my new review

Magnet is A BEAST and I guarantee that with as much trouble as I had getting the 500 lb Neosmuk magnet off of the steel girder under the bridge, that I would NOT be able to get this down of the same happened to it.Magnet is awesome as are all other Neosmuk magnets I have (I wish they made bigger). They are alot better than many other magnet brands.The rope however they provided as well as the Carabiners might would be good for the 500lb but NOT this 800 lb magnet.I will be using 1000 lb…

Pros
  • Fishing with the kit provides excellent exercise, both physically and mentally, as it requires concentration and determination to succeed
Cons
  • The magnets may be too heavy for some users to carry around

Great first time magnet!

This was our first magnet and it was a great introduction to magnet fishing. The cable will essentially never break. I will tell you - you don't need 100 feet of cable - we bought this magnet package for it - but have since realized 66 feet is plenty.We've found all sorts of cool stuff with this magnet. Be advised that the double-sidedness means you get about 1/2 the power on each side - but unless you're picking up safes, you should be fine. I picked up a piece of a broken dock complete with…

Pros
  • Pretty strong magnet. Everything that comes with this package seems to be built well
Cons
  • The kit may not come with enough rope for some users' needs

Strong magnet, worth the money

Very strong magnet, when stuck to large piece of steel I can do a pull up on it and I weigh over 200lbs, the rope is also good quality and comes with a locking carabineer. overall pretty satisfied with my purchase

Pros
  • The MHDMAG Double Sided Magnet Fishing Kit is durable and long-lasting, providing many years of successful fishing.
Cons
  • The kit may not be suitable for use by children

Rope isn’t great but will work

The rope is not the best quality and frays instantly but will still pull in large objects. I will replace once the rope breaks. Hook and magnet are amazing

Pros
  • {}
Cons
  • The rope may require regular maintenance to keep it in good condition

Caught a Horseshoe!

I think double sided is the way to go! We drag this along the riverbed in our kayak and have pulled up quite a few "treasures”.Magnet is definitely strong enough to pull up larger items when it "latches” onto them. I definitely recommend it.

Pros
  • Pulled out a park bench with the hook and then this solid light bar with just the magnet
Cons
  • Ordered 2 for my nephews. Disappointed the hooks were not included in either package.

Don't use on metal bridges

The strength of the magnet is determined by how much metal it attaches to. It comes off a fridge door or metal paneling on a car fairly easy. However, I wasn't paying attention and was magnet fishing off and iron bridge. The bridge was nearly a foot thick in certain places. It got stuck on the way up. My friend and I had to basically jerk it with all our strength at the same time to come off. We're both 200+ pounds and were also using most of our bodyweight. Another one got stuck and we had to…

Pros
  • Reversible option is nice and makes for a good value. No problems with the line or screw coming loose.
Cons
  • The grappling hooks may not be able to grip certain types of surfaces
