Magnet Fishing Accessories (Recommended)

Heavy Duty Gloves

There is likely to be a lot of rust and mud on the things that you pull out of the water. Because of this, it’s a good choice to use some heavy duty gloves to ensure your hands are protected. Furthermore, most of the things you will pull will likely have been in the water for an extended period of time which could cause an unwanted smell on the items. For these reasons alone, heavy duty gloves make a lot of sense.
