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.
My magnet has two ways to install the eyebolt. The top and the side. Which is the best position on the magnet to install the eyebolt?
I was so desperate to get my magnet back I ended up pulling the entire tree log out of the water, twice the size of me.
Is a tree log metal? How did it pull up lol
@@ion_ytit probably got caught on like a limb
Do u suggest grappling hook?
The Snell knot is one of the strongest most dependable knot you can tie especially for a magnet
Lost my magnet the first day I got it, probably should've watched this video XD
Putting a plastic bottle on end helps too
Cut off bottom slide rope thru neck heat bottle to form around magnet a little
Like a upside down funnel
works well
All of your vids are so entertaining. I can't wait to get back into metal detecting. Hopefully this year I will have the time and finances to do it! Happy New Year Beau!
I figured that out on my own. Nice to know it a tip and trick. Thanks!
Don't forget you can clip on some heavy weights like a bunch of old style sparkplugs or lead weights and slide that down the line until it pops the magnet loose from the backside.
Give this a try Beau. Feed the end of the rope up inside of that rope for about 12 inches then pull and the rope wont need a knot at all. Also use a cut plastic bottle like a inverted funnel covering the top end of the magnet and ring, this makes it a bit more smooth when pulling and prevents most snagging between rocks.
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.
+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.
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.
man i bet you could loose some teeth as well
Yup hooked my little brothers ear in exactly the same manner, a snap back. It was 35 years ago, he has forgiven me.
i put a 1 foot piece of 1/2" pvc above my knot, tape it down to the knot . the piece of pvc pipe flips over the look downs " most " of the times not always but better than not having it. good luck.
Thinking of magnet fishing during covid...lol very informative Beau. Thanks
Beau,I should mention that one should keep any magnet away from your wallet. It will really screw up the magnetic strip on any credit cards you have in it. . I have the tee shirt and the cap.
Purchasing a manual winch or use your vehicle if you can pull up to the waterway can also be a big help when all other techniques don't work. Been there, done that on several levels. The hobby is fun, when you can get out to do it though.
Thanks for the tips....I’m new to magnet fishing👍😎
Great video Chigger! I can see how tree branches could cause problems like that!
They do for sure. I hear of many people losing their mags before they figure that out.
Hey Chig... with the braided rope you can create a knotless loop that will NEVER come undone... if you feed the end of the rope into the weave (so the rope end is fed into the center of the rope then pull the main end of the rope. The main rope will tighten up on the rope in the center... (think chinese finger torture) the loop doesn't close and it will never come undone!
Thanks watch this last night. 2nd throw with my new magnet got caught up! Went up on to the bridge and forward came out! Thanks bro
Very cool video Beau :-) A plastic transmission funnel cut to fit go's down the line will stop the magnet from hooking on stuff like that !!!! Think of a old time church bell only with the belfry hanging out at the base of the funnel :D I hope this will help you !!! Happy Holydays
+wackattack180 Bingo, or even the top of a plastic bottle. Anything to guide it around instead of hooking that flat T-shape.
that's a good idear! tanks buddy
genius
yup, i do that also and see others do it using a pop bottle cut down to create a tapper on the rope pull side of the magnet to help get rid of the flat surfaces to allow it to get over irregular surfaces easier.
For some night time fun, you can put small glow sticks or small led bobber, zip tied on the inside of the clear bottle half to see it in the water when its clear/semi-clear as you pull it.
Wachattack180, I was going to suggest the same idea, thumbs up buddy.
Great tip! Glad I watched prior to first fish!
If your dragging against the current and you get caught, you can thread a n empty plastic bottle with a handle onto the line, give out slack,and let it drift out on the current to below where the magnet is caught and it should lift it out also
Thank you this video helps alot
what about a masdam rope come along and a nylon sling? you could wrap around any tree, preferably back a tree or two in case of ricochet and if it is a tree, crank out the entire thing if necessary.The nylon sling keeps from girdling the tree, displacing the pressure, chain will kill the anchor tree. Plus if the rope puller is on your rope it can clip to anything that will fit instead of pants. Just remember seeing a 30 inch diameter oak tree going down the river roots and all, with only twigs above the surface is all. I know the puller is another ten pounds to hump but remember, the tree I saw, was going faster than I could run.
Nice video for the starter who wants to learn
Legend
Great video, your the one who got me in the hobby.
Hello Beau, enjoying your videos as usual ....could you put up a video for all your subscribers, about the perils you encounter hunting the creeks and rivers. Some of the waterways you are in look like toxic waste sluice gates! Have you gotten sick?...rashes?..infections?....and how do you, or can you, protect yourself. R.L.
Cool video man i subscribed
Thanks for doing these videos, very helpful!
Beau my name is Kyle and I lost my gro pro 3 in the Chattahoochee river in gerogria last year, it's a slim chance but it would be RELLY cool if you had it!
just remember if you dive in for a magnet make sure to bring couple knives one for back up..you can easily get cought up in a current and rapped around the rope!..and also make sure someone is there and your not completely by yourself👍
Fantastic information! Great seeing you,,as always!
Thanks dude 😊
Yo Beau, Thanks for the tip!!! i have just started magnet fishing....but my magnet is not powerful enough..so i have ordered a bigger one....wish me luck!! cheers,G:)
great info Beau. where can one find a magnet as such?
Thanks. Just got me a magnet to start here at Wisconsin.
you are my favorite youtuber
Very informative, great info. Thanks for sharing !!......Rhino
thanks good tip
Great tip. Thanks!!!!
Great Vid! Thanks for posting!
i just biked the c&o canal a few weeks ago
Thanks for the video.
Have you ever used Kevlar rope instead of nylon? Seems like it would be much less susceptible to breaking...
Hello love watching your videos would love to try this myself sometime
I just got 1100lb paracord from Walmart’s camping area for $8
I wonder if you couldn't take a transmission oil fill funnel and put the line through the narrow tip of the funnel and then attach your magnet to the end of the line at the end of the funnel. It would seem to me that the funnel would prevent the magnet from snagging in a tree crotch. Sound feasible guys? ... Jim.
Good tip. I won't start in the river.
Hi could you please let me know what cameras lights microphone etc etc. And best of all what’s your best magnetic you use size strength etc etc keep up the good work mate thank you so much
What pound pulling force of magnet do you use for something simple like for finding fishing lures?
helpful Hints.. Glad i clicked
Thank you
"A lot-lot-lot weaker.." 🤣🤣
Here's an idea. . . drop a gopro down into the water before tossing in your magnet. . . . just take a look first.
Where did you get your magnet?
happy new year buddy
what is a good pull weight/strength of magnet to buy?
I know exactly where I lost 2 fishing rods. What strength magnet would be best to get?
If I snag a magnet and can't get it out, it's lost. No magnet is worth swimming with gators! lol
Just ordered a magnatar easy magnet 600ibs
0:22 Rivers love to get high *Chuckles*
Did I make a mistake?
I just purchased a magnet. I'm looking for a cone that will fit over the I of the magnet to help keep it from getting stuck, snagged. Think I will first try one of my auto funnels.
What's the best rope for magnet fishing
beau where do you buy your magnets
I am using 1,800 lb mule tape or bull line
I know I sound ignorant but for what purpose would I throw a magnet into a body of water ,what is it of value that i'm fishing for, not criticizing just don't see that done around here probably pull out a dumped car or something .that would work great in Canada with all those magnetic coins they have
Stupid simple idea would use a pole with a screw shape on the front and u wind it around the rope and push it to the magnet and push it lose they have a similar thing for fishing
where is the best place to get a good magnet
what kind of magnet is being used here? Where to get one?
Would you recommend using para cord as appropriate magnet fishing line?
Would paracord work for line
have you ever fished up a lost magnet?
paulspydar yep a couple
Nope
could you imagine a guy with a south boston accent doing this? lol
informative video and you got a "like" out of me but it seriously puzzles me how so many people successfully turn 1-2 minute videos into 10+ minute videos..... ugh
That magnet is redickquless😂
Sir, are you related to Billy Bob Thorton? Just kidding.
after watching hundreds of your videos i come to want to nickname you "the worlds greatest authority"....until today. wow...you really don't know anything about knots? and you admit it?...lol...just kidding, please, keep the wisdom flowing, and thank you
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.
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.
I know this is old but I was thinking the exact same thing while watching this and I'm wondering why I haven't seen anyone do it yet
Exactly!!!
or it getting thirsty ?
if anyone tries it let me knownhow it worked out
Great idea :) I'm just starting in a few days :)
I love the way this guy teaches! I’m very visual so he helps me understand the concepts involved. Can’t wait to try this, and will definitely refer to this video for tips!
Love this channel. Got snagged my first time out yesterday. Used your technique and got my magnet back. Found a bunch of nails, pipes and spikes. Was looking for 2 lost chairs in the lake. Found them both! Thanks for your videos!
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.
"old person or small child"
wait...
That knot you used on the magnet looks like a fisherman's knot, one of the best for underwater use, in my opinion anyway. good video and thank you for the tips =^_^=
that knot is called a knotless knot its used alot in carp fishing too.
i like the name!
Hello Beau, Thank you for this one. Waiting for more.
Just want to tell you HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Bye Chris.
When I used to MF, I tied upp a Rope Clip and just clip it to my Belt or Belt Loop.. and can disconnect it alot faster than trying to untie it in a panic.. But Don't do MF anymore.. I use my Kyack and Short Fishing Pole ( 2-3 ft only) 50 ft test line to a Casting Reel, 30-50lb Steel Leader and good to goo out on the Colder spring water.. when water gets warmer? Skin Diving provides the Most..Unless yur Fishing for Steel items? Do Bother Magnet Fishing
What if you took a funnel and after tying the rope, slide the funnel down onto the magnet with the rope through it. It would act like a flare making it harder to tangle. Might have to attach the funnel to the magnet somehow or use a metal funnel
Do you know where there are magnetic fish that I can catch...:P Good tip, I may try this coming spring and summer. Thanks and God Bless
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.
My first video watching of yours... thanks man I’m just starting to get into it! And this has so much info I didn’t even know I didnt even know! You should also narrate scary stories or something, soothing but rough voice... rock and roll sir! Oh Missing 411 reports you’d kick ass at!
My friend to stop this Particular situation. Buy a cheap plastic funnel the same size eze the magnet itself. Inverted over the magnet and the knot and super glue it to the magnet Inverted over the magnet and the knot and super glue it to the magnet . You have now just made a funnel so it will not get caught in the v of a tree
I hope this helps someone
Best Relic hunting channel on the net!!!!
Thank you for the tips Beau they will help when i go out magnet fishing this next spring. GL/HH
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 .
Hi Beau!
Any tips on places to get such magnets?
Best regards
I keep looking at them on Amazon, but there are quite a few negative reviews on all of them.
Thanks for the good video!
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!!
I've been magnet fishing for a long time and always referred to it as mishing :)
I just duct taped the Knott and never got stuck since. Duct tape is awesome LOL 😜
Beau : if you build a cone shape Aluminium piece ahead of the Magnet it will slip over MOST snags// Perry
Or even wood would work. Just like a bullet shaped plastic worm weight. It will still snag, but not as bad and not as much.
I was gonna post something similar.
Small plastic funnel
I was going to comments to post the same thing. Slide a small cone over the magnet Neck. Great video! Hope you do another magnet fishing video!!! I am now excited to go out and try this!!!!! Love all your videos! It's like Christmas every time you find something cool! and yes I prices the AT Pro and the pointer and the magnet.... lol looks like a great hobby!
Hi Beau,
I'm sorry. but I have to ask. When you go magnet fishing, do ever catch any magnets?
I still wanna know the answer
Andrew Ellison same bro.
Yeah it seems like a lot of work for not catching any magnets.
Yah I've caught a magnet before
I was jumping off a dock and on the other side a guy was using one of the hooks to catch things, i watched him pull up one of his hooks he lost a week prior that he forgot about, but he remembered losing it after the fact, pretty funny
