longline

Multi-hooked fishing gear

Longline describes something extended in length, especially garments cut longer than standard: a longline bra extends below the bust for support, a longline cardigan falls past the hips.

In commercial fishing, a longline is a main fishing line stretching for miles with thousands of baited hooks attached at intervals—an efficient but ecologically controversial method: Longline fishing threatens sea turtle populations.
