Magnetic fishing has become an increasingly popular pastime for many across New Zealand. Powerful Neodymium Fishing Magnets are used to magnetically adhere to ferrous metal objects underwater. Magnet fishing is a favoured outdoor activity for many thrill seekers who enjoy an old fashioned treasure hunt. Magnet fishers have been known to find rare and valuable artefacts in bodies of water such as canals and rivers.

Many environmental organisations have turned to fishing magnets to assist with cleaning up waterways. Magnet fishing helps to improve the natural environment by keeping outdoor waters clean and uncontaminated by metallic waste. Put simply, magnetic fishing consists of casting a fishing magnet into the water and a rope is used to pull it back to the surface. This magnet trawling hopefully attracts metal objects along the bottom of the body of water. Commonly found items include bicycles, tools, car parts and shopping trolleys however they are also handy in locating ferrous metal items that have been accidentally lost overboard from boats including lost anchors.

Magnetic Fishing is not just confined to aquatic environments as they can also be extremely useful for land-based explorations also. Fishing Magnets are great for recovering broken drill bits and other metal objects on mining and borehole drilling sites. Metal debris can cause significant and expensive damage to equipment and strong magnets can be very useful for retrieval.
