Nautical Term: Mousing
Definition of Mousing
Mousing refers to the act of securing small items, such as ropes or fishing gear, to a hook or other attachment point, preventing them from unshipping or coming loose once they have been secured.
For example, in a crowded fishing area, a fisherman might use the technique of mousing to secure multiple lines to a single hook, ensuring that all of his lines remain attached and organized, even in the chaos of a busy fishing spot.
