WE WOULD CALL THAT A GIG HERE.

THIS EXAMPLE IS VERY CRUDELY MADE AND APPEARS TO BE MADE FROM 3 PIECES OF METAL BAR STOCK AND WIRED TOGETHER WHICH IS SOMETHING I HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE. PERHAPS A HOMEMADE, MAKESHIFT GIG MADE WITH VERY LIMITED TOOLS AND MATERIALS. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MADE ANYWHERE BUT IF ITS RECENT SOUTH AMERICA WOULD BE AS GOOD A GUESS AS ANY.
GOOD OLD FISH GIGS AND EEL FORKS WERE OFTEN LARGE IN SIZE BUT ALL I HAVE SEEN WERE WELL FORGED AND USUALLY HAD A SOCKET OR FERRULE FOR ATTACHING TO A POLE.
