Spooled up and stowed rope and twisted nylon line, used for commercial longline fishing, on Katlian street in Sitka, Alaska, USA. Longline fishing, or longlining, is a commercial fishing technique. It uses a long line, called the main line, with baited hooks attached at intervals by means of branch lines called snoods. A snood is a short length of line, attached to the main line using a clip or swivel, with the hook at the other end.
