The word
creel is also used in Scotland to refer to a device used to catch lobsters and other crustaceans. Made of woven netting (similar to that used in traditional
fishing net) over a frame of plastic tubing and a slatted wooden base, this type of creel is analogous in function to a
lobster pot. Several creels put out on one line can be referred to as a "leader". File:Creel (PSF).png|Angler with creel File:Fisher Jessie statue, Peterhead - geograph.org.uk - 1077905.jpg|Statue of a
