Salambáw

Salambáw (Spanish: salambáo or sarambáo), is a type of lift net used by indigenous fishermen in the Philippines.

[3][4] Salambáw is derived from Proto-Western Malayo-Polynesian *salambaw, meaning a "large fishing net".

At the center of the raft is a tall upright pole or a tower structure (timba) around 15 to 20 m (49 to 66 ft) in height.

The pole acts as a crane, it can be tilted to submerge the net using a weighted lever mechanism.

The operator either pushes or pulls the lever, or climbs on it to bring it down with their body weight, thus raising the pole.

[6] Basnig or Balasnig are lift nets operated by a large outrigger boat called Basnigan.

This net is attached to multiple temporary booms projecting from the ship's outriggers and detachable auxiliary masts.

Modern basnig typically use generators and electric lights to attract fish and squid.
