Le repêchage du poisson se fait avec différents outils suivant que l'on peut ou non le coiffer facilement. Ce sont : - l'overshot et la cloche taraudée (outils femelles), - le harpon et le taraud (outils mâles). [...] La cloche et le taraud [...] sont tout simplement constitués par un cône très allongé (femelle pour la cloche, mâle pour le taraud), en acier extrêmement dur, comportant des filets triangulaires très minces et à pas très faible. Des rainures disposées suivant les génératrices du cône permettent le dégagement des copeaux d'acier produits au moment de la prise de l'appareil. Ce sont ces rainures qui empêchent le rétablissement d'une circulation correcte. 3, record 1, French, - cloche%20taraud%C3%A9e
