Description

Fish trap in the form of a long narrow tube (woven) with a small neck at one end, and a larger base at other. The large end allows fish to swim in, but prevents them from escaping. This is used in rice paddies in conjunction with dikes with a bamboo fence (ต้อน), and a board net (ดางต่ง), to capture fish.
