Angling
Casting for catch
Angling is fishing with a rod, line, and hook—the recreational form of the activity, as opposed to commercial fishing with nets or traps.
The word comes from angle meaning fishhook.
Someone who angles is an angler.
Figuratively, to angle for something is to seek it indirectly: She's angling for a promotion.
