A 'clique' must be a synonym or colloqualism for a hook of some derivation, as a young lad I used to 'clique' for lobsters and crabs on the rocks between Amble and Hauxley when the tide was very low. I had a longish pole, 4' maybe, with a small steel shepherds cook type of hook on the end to scrape under rocks and submerged rock pool shelves in the sandstone. Limited success but many hours of fun all the same!
