✅ SOLVED Anyone know what this is? Maybe for fishing or a scale? Looks old

[jonac21]

Anyone know what this is? I have no clue!

I found this at an antique store for $2.00

I bought it because it looked so strange

Its very heavy for its size
Do you think it has something to do with fishing?

I'm not to sure?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

I lose a lot of lures how do these things work?

Home made, pretty cool find. If you fish, it will pay itself on your first retrieval.
