Longline fishing, or longlining, is a commercial fishing angling technique that uses a long main line with baited hooks attached at intervals via short branch lines called snoods or gangions. [1] A snood is attached to the main line using a clip or swivel, with the hook at the other end.
Fishing lines are usually pulled by and stored in a reel, but can also be retrieved by hand, with a fixed attachment to the end of a rod, or via a motorized trolling outrigger. Fishing lines generally resemble a long, ultra-thin rope, with important attributes including length, thickness, material and build.
High flyers, also known as long line high flyers, are vertical poles used by commercial fishermen that serve to locate the beginning and end of a long fishing line, used most often in tuna and swordfish fishing. [1]
Modern fishing lines are usually made from artificial substances. The most common type is monofilament, made of a single strand. There are also braided fishing lines and thermally fused superlines. Droplining - a dropline consists of a long fishing line set vertically down into the water, with a series of baited hooks.

Longlines – a long fishing line with many short lines, called snoods and carrying hooks, attached at regular intervals. Pelagic longlines are suspended horizontally at a fixed depth using surface floats. Demersal longlines are weighted at the seabed and have closer-spaced hooks. A longline can be miles long with several thousand hooks.
