Turkish term or phrase: sulunes
Greetings,

During a walk on the seafront here I came across someone fishing. He showed us the bait he was using: cigarette-shaped shells containing small creatures. He was adamant that the right word was “sulunes”, but I can't find it anywhere.

What might the correct form of the word be, and what would be the correct translation, please?

All the best,

Simon
