Abstract: A passively anchored fishing tackle of the net kind comprises bottom nets, top nets, lateral nets, inlet nets, and lead-in nets which cooperate to form a catching space. Lateral nets, inlet nets and lead-in nets are provided with top lines with an incorporated buoyancy, and bottom sink lines. All nets of the inlet portion are square-meshed, whereas the rest is normally meshed. From both sides of the lead-in net inlet nets extend.
