Note: This magnet was previously sold with an under-represented pull force of 3600 lbs. No changes have been made to the magnet. Packaging may still reflect under-represented pull force.

Now THAT’S Brute Strength! The Wildebeest is the world’s strongest double-sided fishing magnet with a combined pull force of 4,250 pounds.

This 10-pound, rare-earth magnet is encased in the highest quality A3 steel and coated with durable Nickel-Copper-Nickel to be the strongest and most reliable type of permanent magnet available. Expert magnet fishers absolutely love the pulling power of the Wildebeest.

The Wildebeest was specifically designed with heavy retrieving applications in mind. You won't have to worry which way the magnet is oriented under water since each side provides up to 2125 lbs of pulling force. The design provides more versatility by allowing it to be used as a double-sided, or single sided magnet. The eyebolt can screw into the side of the casing, or through the magnet face. Using this magnet in the single sided configuration will provide a much stronger hold since the user is pulling perpendicular to the target.

Includes 6ml bottle of thread locker to keep the eyebolt from backing out. Recommended Rope: 1/3" Heavy Duty Rope or 0.40" Extra Heavy Duty Rope

Recommended Rope: 1/3" Heavy Duty Rope or 0.40" Extra Heavy Duty Rope

 

Magnet Care & Help

For additional informations and help go to our buying guide or take our Quiz.

Choosing a magnet is different for everyone based on where you plan to Magnet Fish, how experienced you are and budget. Take our Magnet Fishing Quiz or check out our Buying Guide for help. Or feel free to email us!

To prolong the life of your magnet, rinse and dry thoroughly after each use. It also
doesn't hurt to rinse your ropes and wring them out. 

Do not store anything damp in our airtight cases. This will lead to a corroded magnet, compromised rope and a smelly airtight case. 

Due to the abrasive nature of magnet fishing, the surface coating will eventually become scratched, but that will not affect the pull strength of the magnet. To prolong the life of your magnet, consider adding an additional marine protectant or fluid film to help inhibit corrosion. 

If you’re magnet fishing in saltwater you may want to consider one of our anti-corrosion magnets. These are made with a special stainless casing which makes them corrosion resistant.

Although it has the appearance of solid metal, neodymium actually behaves more like a ceramic and can crack/chip. Do not use in shallow or rocky waters.  Consider our anti-collision magnets if you target these areas. WE ARE UNABLE TO REPLACE MAGNETS WHICH CHIP OR CRACK DURING USE, AS THIS IS AN INHERENT RISK OF MAGNET FISHING.

Heat above 160° F can permanently demagnetize your magnet.

Large magnets have a very strong attractive force and improper handling could cause severe pinching/crushing injury. Use caution!

Neodymium magnets are not toys. Keep away from children.

Pacemakers and other sensitive electronics can be adversely affected by strong magnetic fields. If you wear a pacemaker, do not handle strong magnets.

If you are using magnets to hang heavy objects, choose a weight rating that greatly exceeds the object to the hung. Our weight ratings are based on ideal conditions. Surface conditions and metal thickness greatly affect magnet capacity.

Breaking strength of our double-braided ropes:

Paracord : 649 LBS

¼” : 1,680 LBS

⅓” : 3,840 LBS 

0.40” : 5,680 LBS

These breaking strengths are with a direct pull, no bends, kinks or other loops. All kits ship with rope that is sufficiently strong for the magnet when held under its own power.  When magnets are wedged and require mechanical assistance to break free it is possible the force needed exceeds the breaking strength.  It is best to exhaust all avenues of recovery prior to using mechanical force due to the potential for the rope to break. Shop our Ropes Collection.

It's not unusual for your magnet to get stuck; sometimes on a heavy object (like a metal pier column) or wedged between some rocks. When this happens, try these solutions; 

Try pulling firmly and steadily but not with all your might to assess if you're freeing it or making it worse. 

Pull from different angles (for example, the other end of the pier or the opposite side of the boat launch.) 

Put a lot of slack in your rope and let the current (if there is one) work for you, moving your line into a new position. 

If it’s safe and you can swim, go in after it! Some snorkeling gear will make this a fun and relatively effortless endeavor. You can actually pull yourself down the line directly to the magnet to visually assess the situation and free your magnet or you can stay on the surface and swim your line over and then past the point of hang up and free it from a different vantage point. 

If all else fails, you might try a more aggressive approach with a bumper winch or come along. But beware, this can possibly stretch your rope to the breaking point.

Best on the market!

The Brute Wildebeest lives up to the hype! This extremely powerful magnet is exactly what I was looking for. It is also worth the money to get the custom case which protects the magnet and prevents its powerful field from disrupting electronic devices that could otherwise end up close to the Wildebeest and get scrambled.

Great magnet for dipping- but heavy!

It's a great magnet, super strong. Overall, I like my 360 3800lb from Brute magnetics better tho. This one is just a beast, the name aint wrong! It's so heavy it's difficult to throw. but it's great for dipping from kayak or bridge, and we've found a bunch of stuff with it.
