Pakistan\“s coastal regions, particularly along the Arabian Sea in Sindh and Balochistan, feature several traditional fishing spear types used by local fishermen. The most common is the \“Baan\“ - a multi-pronged spear with 3-5 sharp metal points attached to a long wooden pole, ideal for catching medium-sized fish in shallow waters.
Another significant type is the \“Harpoon-style spear\“ used for larger marine creatures. This features a detachable head connected to a rope, allowing fishermen to hunt larger fish like tuna and kingfish. The design ensures the spearhead remains embedded while the fisherman controls the catch through the rope.
In freshwater regions like the Indus River delta, fishermen use simpler \“Single-point spears\“ made from locally available materials. These are typically crafted from hardened wood or basic metal tips, reflecting the resourcefulness of Pakistani fishing communities in adapting to their specific aquatic environments. |
