Fishing is an important activity in Pakistani coastal communities, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan regions. The traditional method of casting a fishing line involves using simple bamboo rods and handmade hooks.
Local fishermen in Karachi and Gwadar typically use a technique called \“dheela cast\“ where the line is thrown with a gentle swinging motion rather than forceful throwing. This method has been passed down through generations and is considered more effective in catching local fish species.
In Pakistani culture, fishing is often a family activity where elders teach younger members the proper way to handle fishing equipment. The casting technique varies depending on whether fishing is done from shore, small boats, or larger vessels.
Traditional Pakistani fishing lines are often made from natural fibers and the casting method emphasizes conservation and respect for marine life, reflecting the cultural values of the coastal communities. |
