I drilled and tapped the centre and screwed in an eye bolt for the rope. It has a big catchment area and never fails to rescue things. Iven , for a laugh I even towed my cousins 40' narrowboat with it without it coming off. Dunno who told you that's a speaker magnet, I reckon that's a limpet mine.

ditchcrawler Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Well Water Womble came past this morning and he had more than one rusty bike in the hold so I guess he has been picking up behind the magnet fishermen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny London Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Firstly, on the subject of magnets, apparently monopole magnets should exist, but non have yet been found. Secondly, anyone passing Fleet might be able to recover a perfectly good metal jerry can spout that I lost in there recently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 On 20/04/2018 at 21:05, rusty69 said: Question 1.If you lose your magnet, are you able to retrieve it with another magnet,or will it be repelled? 2. If magnets were made of Stainless Steel would they still work? Q1. Yes you can. Some years ago lost a windlass so bought a Sea Seacher to fish for it. Second cast let go of line and lost magnet. Bought another one and went back the following weekend to try again. Recovered both windlass and original magnet. Now have 2 Sea Searchers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenataomm Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Whilst canal clearing on the five and a half from Hawkesbury to Coventry Basin with The Coventry Canal Society on board Panther, I threw out my grappling hook and pulled back in an identical grappling hook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
