424. No correct answers yet. Although most people probably have never
used one, this eagle shaped item is employed in a common recreational
actvivity.

Is it some sort of fishing net weight or downrigger weight?



I guess this is close enough to call correct, it's a fisherman's trolley
weight. It was designed to travel up and down the fishing line (controlled
by a second attached line) to change the depth of baited hooks.
