The Jakhoi is an ingenious adaptation for a fishing trap developed by the locals. It is more like a wickerwork shovel made of bamboo and used to catch small fish, either by dragging it along or placing it on water.

Generally, fishes tend to hide between weeds; the Jakhoi with its net made of bamboo splits traps these fishes and brings them out of the water.

Jakhoi is made of a species of bamboo called the Jati.

Jati is often tall, less prolific and used for handicraft items.
