cast net
Circular fishing throw
A cast net is a circular fishing net with weights along its edge, designed to be thrown by hand so it spreads wide and sinks over fish.
The fisher gathers the net by a central line, trapping fish inside as the weighted edges draw together.
He waded into the shallows and threw his cast net over a school of mullet.
