        The rooroto is a kind of fishing that we do when we fish tunas. We fish with a fishing rod. The fishing rod is made of kururu bamboo. We tie a string to the kururu bamboo, then we tie the nasi hook to the string. For this kind of fishing we paddle to the place where the tunas eat, then we shake the string to which we have tied the hook, and then we just pull the hook and let it hover along.
