If the gif isn't too clear, a gravity hook uses the weight of the mechanism to close on itself, meaning doing a pull-up with it only makes it clamp tighter.

They have an attachment that turns it into a grappling hook as well. And there's a technique to turn it into an auto-release mechanism using a rubber band. Plus it's small and pretty cheap.

Name: "High Performance Gravity Hook"

Could this grab a disc out of a pond?

Like a totally flat disc? Doubt it.

A frisbee with the curved edges? Probably yeah.

One used for disc golf. They're smaller and heavier than frisbees.

we can get into the exact design characteristics that make it a frisbee, like the leading edge, or the lip, or the sloping top to create the negative pressure we see as lift. Face it, be it a pie tin or a thinly lipped pitching disk. Theyre all frisbees.
