"Hook and line" is a fishing method that involves using a fishing rod, reel, and a line with a hook attached to catch fish. Anglers typically bait the hook with food to attract fish, and once a fish bites, they can reel it in. This method is popular for both recreational and commercial fishing. This technique is versatile and can be used in various environments, including freshwater and saltwater. It allows for selective fishing, meaning anglers can target specific species, such as trout, bass, or tuna, while minimizing bycatch.
