Abstract

This invention relates to a basket for catching fish and the like while being sunk into the sea, which is mainly composed of a collapsible basket member consisting of a net portion stretched around movable frame members, such that the unfolded basket is used for alluring and catching fish and the like and the volume will be reduced by folding it when not used for convenience of conveyance and storage. Stretching strings are disposed between an inner entrance frame for widening the inner end of an exit checking portion which is an opening for fish to the inside of the basket and the base ring, such that due to the tension of the net portion which incorporates the opening and the tension of the stretching strings, the exit checking portion is defined with the inner entrance frame when the basket is unfolded and when the basket is folded the inner entrance frame is kept in parallel with the folded movable frame members while the tension of the net portion of the opening is retained. To the end of the exit checking portion is connected a cylindrical net which is tapered toward the end and the end of which is left cut.
