Steelhead Magnet F034

Highly sought-after by anglers for its challenging fight and impressive size, the Steelhead is also known as Rainbow Trout when in freshwater. Native to the Pacific Ocean and freshwater tributaries, Steelhead are anadromous, meaning they migrate from saltwater to freshwater to spawn, akin to their close relatives, the Pacific salmon. They are distinguished by their sleek, elongated bodies, often displaying striking color variations from silvery to a vibrant pink or reddish stripe along their sides. Steelhead are known for their resilience and adaptability, and they can grow quite large, with some specimens reaching over 40 inches in length. Anglers often refer to them as "chrome" or "silver bullets" due to their bright, shiny appearance in the ocean. The Steelhead's life cycle and migration patterns are complex and fascinating, contributing to their allure among fishing enthusiasts. Their ability to thrive in diverse habitats, from coastal waters to inland streams, makes them a symbol of wild and pristine natural environments.

Craft & construction

Powerful magnets that actually hold. Our magnet strengths vary by design. Smaller magnets pull 3–5 lbs — enough to hold to a refrigerator with more than a single sheet of paper or photo between. The heavier premium magnets use an even stronger 6–7 lb magnet, and slim designs use two smaller magnets where one won't fit. Our magnets are bonded in our studio by an artisan with an industrial-strength adhesive to ensure they will 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.
