SF Strongest Magnetic Net Release Magnet Clip Holder Retractor with Coiled Lanyard Carabiner

Perfect setup. This worked great on my fly vest holding my landing net. I clipped it on my d-ring on the back of my vest and it held my net out of my way. The best way to detach the net is to just grab it and yank. To put the net back, grab the hoop and just get the magnet close to the d-ring and it will automatically re-engage. Couldn't be simpler.Magnet is good and strong and haven't had it disengage accidentally even once.I hope you found this review to be helpful, please click below to indicate that you did. Thanks

Every so often, a product comes along that works perfect, does just what you want, and is a great price -- this is that product.I love the outdoors, and I love fly fishing. My biggest problems are that I don't go enough, and my hobbies are collectively too expensive, so I often don't get the gear that I want. For years, I have wanted a magnetic release for my net, but have never purchased one since every store I see them in always has them way to expensive. I have never been able to figure out why a couple magnets and cord can cost $20.This item resolved the price issue, and performance was great. It clips easy to the back of my vest, and was super easy to retrieve my net, and then to reconnect after landing. These magnets are super strong, and the cord was more than long enough for my needs and seemed to snap back decently after using it many dozen times. It made landing my trout while holding my fly rod infinitely easier, and I didn't have my net sticking out (and falling out) of my back pocket, or laying 10 yards down the river bank, which is what used to happen.My only regret is that I did not purchase this a long time ago. Outstanding item in all respects.

Best magnetic release I've ever used.I've been fly fishing for 30 years now.Hiked into many places where tree branches are plentifuland where weak magnets gets pulled apart and "bam"you now have to retrack back and retrieve that net behind you,sometime with your rods in your had! that is not fun to do.These strong magnets stay in position very well.Just fished Merced river during beautiful snow storm andworked brilliantly. I was teaching my nephew how to fly fish forthe first time in his life. Brought two beautiful wild rainbow into thenet, using this net holder.

It a little tricky to find 'cause it's called a "SF Fly Fishing Pliers Landing Trout Net Magnetic Release Holder with Cord 12 LB".So, it's not Fly Fishing Pliers and I'm sure it doesn't weigh 12 pounds. What it is is a magnetic holder for your landing net. You clip one magnet on the loop on the back of your vest or coat, or wherever else you might want it; the other magnet goes on the handle of your net. When you bring them close together—SNAP—they grab each other and you let go of your net and it's now hanging on your back out of the way. To use your net you just reach around and tug it loose.I have been told to be careful when walking through brush. The net can get hung on a branch, after you walk away and the coiled return cord get pulled tight, it can release and the net smacks you in the back or in the head. OUCH. I'd rather see it happen than have it happen. But so far neither has happened.

OK, this thing really does work. The magnet is strong and really holds nicely. The only problem I have had is my own, not the fault of the magnet. I installed the magnet on the back of my shoulder strap to hold my fishing net on my back (rather than sticking the net handle in the back of my belt). I must confess it is a little hard to find. Maybe because I'm not use to it, but it is hard to find. One time I got a frustrated trying to find the magnet & so I just went ahead and stuck the net handle in my belt. When I caught my next fish I was surprised to find that the two magnets had magically found each other and they were connected. It's really a dandy product!

Magnet holds VERY well, much stronger than any others I've used. The cord has been great the 5 trips I've taken it on, hasn't stretched out much at all. Replace the low quality carabiner with a stronger one though, one of the carabiner clasps went flying off into the abyss that is the field closest to my favorite trout stream, never to be seen again. Luckily I had a feeling it would happen since it felt super cheap and bought a regular cheap metal one to replace it. Overall a great value for the price and I highly recommend it.

Magnetism, man...what a trip. Imagine holding the net, bringing it behind your back, and BAM, the magnets find their way and your completely hands free and you have net ready at a moments notice. It's a great time to be alive.

I have a smaller magnet I use to hang a trout landing net on my back, and I've tried to use with larger nets with mixed results. This was the solution. I bought this to use with Frabill's 20x22 inch folding net, which was a little too much for the smaller magnet. This magnetic release is strong enough to handle any landing net you'd ever want to carry with you. I tested it with a huge Beckman musky landing net, and it's strong enough to carry the net, though the net is bigger than one would ever want to carry on a quick release.

One of the strongest magnets I have used so far, for carrying a fishing net. I have used a C&F magnet for several years and if you know their equipment you will know it isn't cheap. This magnet exceeds the force of the C&F by about 2lbs (tested using a spring balance in a pull off test). I am much happier using this one for heavier nets like folding head extendable nets which being long and heavier than short pan nets, can also exert some leverage on the magnet due to their length and the force of their mass when swinging around on your back when stowed. Highly recommended, I will buy more of these.

I've just had three days on a spate river with a very slippy / rocky bottom and they proved a brilliant tool for the wading stick and the other for my landing net. ( Caught one Salmon/One sea trout )

Very strong magnet. Fitted to my rucksack & landing net. Very handy when lure fishing on canals. Definitely recommend.

Strong little magnet holds fishing net to bag no problem would definitely recommend

Delivered quickly ideal for attaching net to fishing vest.
