Smallmouth Bass Magnet – Pewter Fridge Magnet, Made in USA

Often called "Smallie," "Bronzeback," or "Brown Bass," the Smallmouth Bass is a popular freshwater game fish known for its fighting spirit and agility. Native to North America's lakes and rivers, it's closely related to the largemouth bass but is distinguished by its smaller mouth, extending only to the middle of the eye. Typically bronze or brown in color with dark vertical bands, smallmouths are admired for their beauty and hard-fighting nature when hooked. They prefer cooler, clearer waters with rocky and sandy substrates, making them a favorite among anglers who enjoy the challenge of river fishing. Smallmouth Bass are omnivorous, feeding on insects, crustaceans, and smaller fish. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem, maintaining a balance in aquatic food chains. Popular in sport fishing, they are renowned for their strong, acrobatic jumps. The smallmouth bass's resilience and adaptability make it a symbol of freshwater fishing, offering a rewarding experience for both novice and experienced anglers.

Craft & construction

Powerful magnets that actually hold. Our magnet strengths have a pull rating of at least 3 lbs, and go up to 7 lbs for larger pieces. These are not the cheaper ferrite/ceramic magnets. They are high quality neodymium and pack enough pull-strength to grip firmly and hold to a refrigerator with more than a single sheet of paper or photo between. Our magnets are bonded in our studio by an artisan with an industrial-strength adhesive to ensure they never come loose.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
