Fishing gear refers to the equipment used for catching fish, and in Hindi, it is commonly known as \“Machhli Pakadne Ka Saaman\“ or \“Matsyaki Uddhar\“. In India, local fishing products are diverse and tailored to traditional and modern fishing practices. For example, traditional gear includes \“Jaal\“ (nets), \“Bansi\“ (fishing rods), and \“Charkhi\“ (reels), which are widely used in coastal and inland water bodies. These products are often handmade by local artisans using materials like bamboo, cotton threads, and metals, ensuring they are eco-friendly and cost-effective. Modern adaptations incorporate synthetic materials for durability, supporting India\“s fishing industry in regions like Kerala, Gujarat, and West Bengal. |
