A lot of the ones i've seen along with mine comes with a length of strong nylon elastic that goes to either side of the magnet so should it become detached in the undergrowth or you drop it it's still attached to your d ring by the cord. there pretty dam strong though

This is the one I use Scooby, I got mine off of e-bay and it has a good strong magnet, I carry a 4 piece 7' fibreglass handle attached to a 18" Fox rubber net and I can't remember it letting go in the two years I've been using it, although you do get a rubber bungee cord with it just in case.
