DEF

[Type of fishing in which the] fishing gear consists of a bamboo pole, to which is attached a line having a feather or other lure with a barbless hook; alternatively bait may be used. In some cases, two men using poles connected to a common line and hook may be required for large fish. The fisherman heaves on his pole to fling the fish behind him on to the deck; as the hook is barbless the fish is disengaged automatically as the line tightens and slides forward along the sloping deck.

OBS

Method applied to types of fish (such as tuna or large size mackerel) having a high individual value.
