How to tie a knot on a magnet?

A good knot is important. You may lose the magnet if the knot comes undone. Also, avoid using the wrong knots – some can reduce the strength of the rope by up to 50%. Also watch out for inconspicuous knotting in the middle of the rope. They are completely useless and also reduce the strength of the rope.

Solid Palomar knot

The following knot is more complicated, but the most suitable for magnet fishing. It is stronger and minimizes the risk of the rope getting hung up on a branch.

If you are using an anti-snag magnet cone, thread it onto the rope first before tying the knot.

Knots in the middle of the rope

Every knot weakens the rope, not just the one securing the magnet. So avoid letting knots form in the middle of the rope.
