Kengore,
I am familiar with the term "Bank Spear". Could they be one and the same?
The bank spear is an attachment affixed to the butt end of a rod used to poke the rod in the ground and stand it up vertically to put it out of harms way while unattended. Quite a dangerous gadget! They were knife sharp.
My guess.
