Fishing rods, known as \“bans\“ in Urdu, are essential tools in Pakistan\“s coastal and riverine communities. The main parts include the rod itself, often made from local bamboo or fiberglass, the reel, line, hooks, and sinkers. In Sindh and Balochistan, traditional handlines are still widely used, reflecting a deep connection to maritime heritage.
Fishing is not just a livelihood but a cultural practice, with techniques passed down through generations. Festivals like \“Mela\“ in coastal towns often feature fishing competitions, showcasing skill and local craftsmanship in rod-making. |
