This fish trap is made of bamboo and fasten with rattan rings. It is shaped like a barrel or cylinder at one end and takes the shape of a cone as it goes out the other way. The end of the cone-shaped part is either woven with the rattan rings or tied up. The mouth is fitted with a separate funnel for the fish to enter through one direction. This type of fish trap does not require it to be attended to so much so that a few can be set up by the river banks at any one time.
