Dr Slick Magnetic Net Tool Keeper Minimag

A compact, high-strength magnetic release system engineered for securing fly fishing tools and small hand nets, providing a streamlined alternative to traditional spring-loaded retractors.

The Dr Slick Minimag is specifically designed for anglers who want a "break-away" attachment for essential tools without the bulk of a standard net magnet. It features a high-pull neodymium magnet housed in a durable, corrosion-resistant body. Unlike mechanical zingers that can fail or lose tension over time, the Minimag provides a tactile "snap" connection that is both secure and instant to deploy. It is equipped with dual carabiners for versatile attachment and a 9-inch coiled lanyard to ensure tools remain tethered to the angler even when the magnetic bond is broken.

Key Technical Features

• Dual Carabiner Attachment: Features a stainless steel carabiner at each end, allowing for rapid clipping between a vest D-ring and the tool (nippers, clamps, or forceps).

• 9-Inch Swivel Lanyard: Includes a coiled bungee lanyard with integrated swivels to prevent tangling while providing ample reach for tool operation.

• Compact "Mini" Profile: The magnet body is significantly smaller than standard net releases (approx. 32mm x 13mm), reducing weight and preventing line snags.

• Corrosion-Resistant Housing: Built to withstand constant exposure to freshwater and light saltwater environments without seizing or degrading.

• High-Strength Magnetic Bond: Engineered with enough "break-force" to hold heavy metal clamps and small nets securely through thick scrub, yet releases easily with a firm tug.

• Safety Tethering: The included lanyard acts as a fail-safe, preventing expensive tools from being dropped in the current if the magnet is accidentally disengaged.

Technical Specifications

• Magnet Dimensions: 1.25" L x 0.5" D (approx. 32mm x 13mm).

• Lanyard Length: 9 inches (22.8cm) coiled; extends for functional tool use.

• Attachment Type: Dual heavy-duty carabiner clips.

• Material: Anodised housing with stainless steel hardware.

• Recommended Use: Ideal for nippers, forceps, hook files, and lightweight creek nets.

Best For

• Technical Tool Management: A superior alternative to traditional retractors for holding heavy forceps or clamps that often "sag" on standard zingers.

• Small Stream Angling: Perfect for lightweight nets where a full-sized magnetic release is unnecessarily bulky.

• Minimalist Setups: Its small footprint makes it ideal for clipping onto chest packs, lanyards, or wading belts where space is limited.
