Single sided fishing magnets are ideal for use on bridges, docks, ocean piers, from a boat, or in slow moving water.  Unlike double sided magnets where the pull force is divided by both sides, single sided magnets have their pull force concentrated on only one side. Many people use a double sided magnet to drag an object close enough to be lifted out of the water with a single sided magnet because they retain an angle that promotes a maximum pull force when lifted.

Double sided fishing magnets are the most universal style of fishing magnets. Unlike single sided magnets where the pull force is concentrated on one side, double sided magnets have their pull force divided by both sides. Besides having the mounting benefits of single sided fishing magnets, double sided fishing magnets are also more suitable for steeper inclines and faster moving water. Side mounting the eyebolt makes this magnet perfect for dragging the bottom of a waterbody.

Clamp fishing magnets consist of a large Neodymium magnet secured by a tightened frame. This is different than double sided magnets because they consist of two thin magnets secured within a steel protective covering. Because clamp magnets consist of one solid magnet, the magnetic field generated by them is stronger than typical double sided magnets. Clamp fishing magnets are more suitable for steeper inclines and faster moving water. Clamp magnets, like double sided magnets, are perfect for dragging the bottom of a waterbody.

Like clamp magnets, 360 magnets consist of a large Neodymium magnet housed within a protective cover. Due to their design, these magnets are capable of attracting ferrous materials from all sides of the magnet. Kratos 360 fishing magnets are all purpose magnets suitable for dragging the bottom of waterbodies or dipping off of docks, ocean piers, and bridges.
