Longline
A fishing method using a very long main fishing line (usually made of thick monofilament), to which many smaller lines with hooks are attached. Fishers bait the hooks to attract target species. Longlines are used to fish in both open‑ocean and coastal habitats, and they can be set at any depth by using a combination of floats and weights.
