Purse Seine

A purse seine net (pangulongj is a type of tuck seine where the bunt or brailing part is generally located at the end of the wings. It is like a long wall, the web­bing of almost uniform mesh size hanging between the float and the lead or sinker line. The distinct feature of the gear is the encircling and impounding of the school of fish by closing the bottom with the use of a purse line that passes through purse rings attached to the leadline by bridles at regular intervals. It is differen­tiated from the ring net (talakop) by the position of the bunt and mode of hauling.
