A casting net, also called a throw net, is a net used for fishing. It is a circular net with small weights distributed around its edge. The net is cast or thrown by hand in such a manner that it spreads out while it's in the air before it sinks into the water.
For smaller, weed-rich bodies of water (such as ponds, small rivers/creeks and wetlands), where casting accuracy is more important than distance, anglers sometimes use a swinging technique known as flipping or pitching, an elastic technique known as a slingshot cast, or a softball pitch-like technique that can make the bait/lure skim the water ...
On a square-rigged ship, a bowline (sometimes spelled as two words, bow line) is a rope that holds the edge of a square sail towards the bow of the ship and into the wind, preventing it from being taken aback.

The water bowline is a type of knot designed for use in wet conditions where other knots may slip or jam. Although similar in finished appearance to the double bowline , the water bowline is formed with a clove hitch as the loop in the standing part of the rope.
