Taper Tap

Taper tap is an internal catching fishing tool. It has a simple taper mandrel with hardened teeth on it. It is used in situations where there isn't enough annular clearance to catch the fish externally. The tap is run inside the fish top. Slow rotation while lowering the string cuts threads inside the fish body and helps in engaging it to the tap.
