At its end there is a copper wire 10 feet long, to whichone, two, or more hooks are attached; it is sometimes made of horsehairand wound on a large piece of cork. The hooks are baited with smallfishes, or pieces of dried sardines, which shine in the water, and the line istowed by a boat close in shore, and hauled in from time to time. It is usedfor catching mackerel, basse, Occhiada, gar-fish, gobies, &c. (see Plate XXIV.).The pannola da scombri (for mackerel) is rather complicated.
