Is the hook itself magnetic, or just the circle? Could I use this to make a toy fishing pole and actually catch magnetic fish on the hook itself?

The hook is NOT magnetic, just the round piece that attaches to metal objects

only the round part has a magnet. the hook does not, and it swivels from side to side.

I will get back to you with that answer. In the meantime, you should know that the hook pivots freely so it may get frustrating to try to catch the fish because the hook will not necessarily behave the way you might want. Unless the magnet is so strong that the pull just attracts the fish without regard for the position of the hook.

Don't know if the pan itself is magnetic, but I just used a magnet on the bottom of mine to test it and the magnet sticks to it. Hope that answers your question.

No as it is not magnetic and it does not work to well anyway so don't get it. Use a plum bob and line up the vertical line with it.

there is no magnet as far as I can tell . It just means it "draws" insects to the trap. Not sure the other answers were from people who have used this product. Sounds like guessing to me. I have used them for YEARs and have never seen a metal magnet. Kind of makes me laugh to read the other responses.

Is someone planning a fishing trip? There is no hook, but this rule excells at setting up dimensions by using the brass slide. Once you get the hang of how to use it, it will become your favourite tool. It excells at making extrememly accurate inside dimensions. I wear out about one a year and and only use a tape for long dimensions that need not be too accurate. If you have further questions you can look up how to use it on-line.

All of the hooks that I have used for trout fishing have been very small, therefore it is of my opinion that this remover would be a little large for such a small hook. (I use forceps on trout)Yet it could possibly work. I've used it only on largemouth bass....Worked great.. Good luck fishing....

This is not really a magnet. It is a little motor. We purchase it to build a bristle it for a science project

Never tried putting a magnet on it. I'm no metallurgist, but from the feel of it I would guess a magnet would not stick, but I honestly don't know.

If you mean by using the magnet on the end of the "Reacher" NO! No! NO! Aluminum will not attract to a magnet. That is one way junk yards separate iron and steel from aluminum. Huge electro-magnets pick up the iron products and the aluminum items fall out. You should have learned that in grade school!! If you mean by use of the jaws or clamp on the end-- it works but there must be something better. I found it barely goes around a can and is then difficult to discard the can. I assume you are planning on picking up hundreds. Until you find something better why not put a nail backwards in a stick and use it like people pick up litter? Aluminum cabs are very thin and puncture easily. Good Luck. If you mean by using the magnet on the end of the "Reacher" NO! No! NO! Aluminum will not attract to a magnet.

Hooks do not come with it and there are not any magnets in the bottom of it. I use a liner with mine so not sure how it would work without one.

Great question. The magnetic side of the the hook is finished in what seems like 'non-stick' coating and there is a rim of same finish that juts out about 1/16th of an inch around the perimeter of the magnet side. Very smart design--specifically so it will not scratch your surface. But I wouldn't let children or others play with the hook and try to DRAG it down the door either. Just hang your hand towel and enjoy. That is exactly what I did with mine.

I'm not sure about that. It turned out to be too large and heavy (when filled) to go on the hook on my fence. I wanted to put a net underneath it to catch the debris, but couldn't find a hook long enough to allow the feeder and net to hang out from the fence, so I ended up giving it away. I would only recommend it for haning from a tree branch or something. It's very heavy.

The hook does as stated by the other answers. I use the hook to carry a small but powerful magnet from an old earbud speaker. It fits neatly in the hooks 'jaws" and comes in handy once in awhile.

You should build a non-magnetic globe around the magnet. There is another product which is exactly this, so if you didn't buy yet you should prefer buy the globe instead

The scoop itself is not magnetic but it should be able to hang on a magnetic strip! In other-words, it has the elements that will attract it to a magnet. Since you already have a magnetic strip, it will. Hope that helps.

Hi, Yes you are able to unwind the spoon and replace it with a new fishing line (which I would recommend unless you like dealing with tangled line after a few caught fish) or replace the entire reel and keep the same fishing pole. My 5 year old daughter cough 4 trouts last weekend and enjoy the easy cast system.

Jack: Since I have no way to be sure, I had to research to find a way to determine if the sifter is made of stainless or tin. I don't own it long enough to see if it is rusting, which tin would do. See http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/874463 the second reply, which says that stainless attracts a magnet and tin doesn't. I tried that and yes the sifter attracts a magnet. I can tell you that the sifter is made of heavy gauge metal, holds up to five cups at the top line that you see in the photo, the fixed handle is very strongly attached, and the sifter handle moves easily. I'm happy with it for the time-to-time baking that I do. I hope this was helpful. Best wishes.
