What Learners Should Know?
This fish trap is made from bamboo strips. A fish
trap is used for fishing. Fish traps may have the
form of a fishing weir or a lobster trap. A typical
trap might consist of a frame of thick steel wire
in the shape of a heart, with chicken wire
stretched around it. The mesh wraps around
the frame and then tapers into the inside of the
trap. When a fish swims inside through this
opening, it cannot get out, as the chicken wire
opening bends back into its original
narrowness. In earlier times, traps were
constructed of wood and bamboo.
Most of the people who live in the mountainous
area used bantak for catching fresh water
shrimps.

A fishing rod or a fishing pole is a long, flexible
length of glass fiber composite, carbon fiber

fish.
In contrast with subsistence and
commercial fishing, which usually involve nets,
fishing rods are typically used in the sports
of angling and competitive casting.
At its simplest, a fishing rod is a
simple stick or pole with a line ending in
a hook (formerly known as an angle, hence the
term angling). To entice fish bait or lures may
be added. To aid in playing a fish more line,
stowed on a reel, is common.

Sapang/Pana (Fishing Spear), RCML IV.B.27 The simplest fishing spear is a long pole with a
sharpened end. Some fishing spears have
multiple points that increase the likelihood of a
successful catch. More advanced fishers use
spear guns, which use compressed gas or slings
to launch the spear at the target. Because fish
can wriggle off the spear, many fishing spears
have barbs on their points to minimize a fish's
chance of escape.
