WHAT IS IT?
Cling Mag Boat Bar
WHAT SETS IT APART?
If you’re like me, you go through a lot of baits, and once they’re cut off, they rarely make it back into a box. Before long, you’ve got a pile of lures on the floor, hooks stuck in the carpet and a few favorites getting damaged or lost. I’ve been there, with jighead minnows lined up in the carpet, which is not great for the boat or the hooks.
The Cling Mag Boat Bar solves that problem with super-strong, rare-earth neodymium magnets that securely hold loose baits and hooks. Instead of cluttering the floor, everything stays organized and within arm’s reach, which is a big advantage when you’re quickly cycling through presentations.
With magnets rated at over 250 pounds of holding force, the Boat Bar keeps baits in place whether you’re running across the lake or trailering down the road. Despite that strength, removing baits is quick and easy by hand. And it’s not just for lures — the magnets are strong enough to hold tools like pliers, scissors and other essentials, so they’re always right where you need them.
HOW DO I USE IT?
I mounted my Boat Bar near my ruler using the pre-installed heavy-duty 3M tape. It can also be installed with screws, but the adhesive is plenty strong on flat surfaces and avoids drilling.
Right away, I loaded it up with loose baits, and it’s a huge upgrade over having them roll around on the floor. Even after running the boat, everything stayed put. One of my favorite features is how it holds tools; after retying, my scissors and pliers snap right back into place.
Another bonus is the look. The Boat Bar is a clean, visually appealing addition to the boat. It’s available in orange, blue, black and dark green, with engraving options ranging from bass to trout to redfish.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
Small upgrades that improve efficiency and organization can make a big difference on the water. Keeping used baits off the deck prevents damage and eliminates unnecessary snags.
While the Boat Bar is ideal for boat use, Cling offers a range of magnetic products for backpacks, shirts and rods. They also make other useful accessories like rod racks and net holders. Originally focused on fly fishing, the brand has expanded into bass fishing and continues to roll out innovative solutions to help anglers stay organized and efficient.
