Magnet fishing is like playing the lottery

Detecting with a metal detector is a quite widespread hobby. It is not as common, yet, to have tried Magnet fishing. If you enjoy being out in the woods and fields and discovering new (and old) things, then magnet fishing is something for you to try. Through all times, people have lost or thrown, stuff in the water that they have not been able to get back. These things are now waiting at the bottom of streams and lakes. Waiting to be found and pulled to the surface by someone with a strong magnet.

Magnet fishing is an enjoyable hobby gaining new practitioners every day. With a long rope and a powerful magnet, you can make beautiful finds. Magnet fishing is a hobby that suits everyone, regardless of age or gender. 

It also has a positive impact on the environment. You pick up things that should not be there, from the bottom of the lakes and channels. It is the perfect blend of treasure hunting and environmental work. It’s a  hunt for treasure, both adults and children love.

The equipment you need for magnetic fishing is simple and not very expensive. You need a strong long rope and a powerful retrieving magnet. Because metal objects that hide in seabeds are usually rusty and dirty, you need a powerful magnet to pull it up.


Magnet fishing is a growing trend around the world. And based on engagement seen in online magnet fishing communities, page administrators estimate thousands are taking part in the hobby across Quebec.
