TRAT is valid in Collins, not in North America — 4 points

What does TRAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
nauticalregional
A long fishing line set with a series of shorter branch lines and baited hooks, left in the water to catch fish.
A trat is laid out along a riverbed or the shore and left for a while so that several fish can be hooked at once, sparing the fisherman from tending a single rod. The method is traditional in parts of Britain and closely resembles what is elsewhere called a trotline.
