Sputnik sinker or spider sinker. We use them all the time for surf fishing in Florida. The spikes hold the weight in the sand but come loose when you reel them in. Hard to explain with words but those 4 arms are really 2 arms that connect through the sinker. The beads are holding the arms in place but will pop loose to make it easier to reel them in. You then put the arms/beads back like the position they are in now and cast it out again.

Here on Brazil we call them garateia sinker. It's a must have on sand beaches with strong currents and waves. Sea weed gets in the line often. Without these clawed sinkers, the line would have threw back on the sand.

We use it when surfcasting on the beach, those spikes hold the weight down so your bait stays in place.
search google for "" beach setup fishing" and a "paternoster rig" pictures shows how to use and such..

There is an strategy on surf casting for casting them and using the claws to give tension to the like and making the rod getting curved. When a good fish strikes, the rod gets erect quickly and that takes your attention quite well.

This is used on surf casting. It a casting weight designed to bury the hooks on the sand, avoid being threw back on the sand/shallow water by the waves. You cast it que the claws armed like in the picture. You recover some line until the rod last half/tip gets curved, giving tension on the line.
When a good fish is hooked, the claws usually disarm, and the rod gets straight again, because most fishes strikes in the sand direction.

I use theM at island beach state park in jersey for surf fishing. They work well when the tides are running hard and regular sinkers, even pyramid sinkers roll around. A great invention!
