A lot!
For starters, our kit comes with a 500lb pull-strength single-sided fishing magnet. This is the best magnet to start with, as It's light enough to endure casts all day and still packs a strong punch. We have been using this magnet for years and have pulled up some amazing finds. Other kits out there want to sell you on more powerful magnets. For beginners, intermediates, and even those experienced a magnet more than 500lb pull-strength opens up the opportunity to grab onto something you just won't get out of the water, and you will lose your magnet. Build up to it, but if you are like many other avid magnet fishers out there, the 500lb pull-strength will be your go-to for years to come.
Also in the kit is a durable 5L Waterproof Outdoor Dry Bag that fits the entire fishing magnet kit. It also doubles on-site to protect your valuables (keep them dry and safe) as you find those treasures. Our kit also comes with two ropes (a 65ft rope for the fishing magnet and a 32ft rope for the grappling hook). A lot of kits out there only come with one rope, which is not ideal.
Threadlocker/Loctite is also something else we provide already pre-applied during the manufacturing process. Many kits don't supply the threadlocker to secure the magnet eyebolt so it doesn't twist off OR they just supply the tube of threadlocker for you to apply yourself. The latter you need to wait 24 hours after applying before you can hit the water. With Magnet Hounds, we pre-applied the threadlocker so you are ready to go out of the box. In addition to all the above, we included a magnet scraper which is great for keeping your magnet clean of all the iron pellets that you will pull up AND a microfiber towel that will help keep your magnet clean, dry & rust free.
What we don't include that other kits do are fishing magnet gloves. Why don't we include them? For starters, we don't know your glove size. We don't want you spending money on a kit with items you won't be able to use! As you get started, grab those work gloves you have in the garage or just go to your local big box store and get a pair of gloves that actually fit you, and work best for you based on the environment and season you are in.
