I think their intent is to tell set-liners that they must attach the line on one end to something a load of fish can't tow into the water. To me the obvious example is a big tree. But what about a stake driven securely into the ground? A vehicle? A picnic table? A big rock? A big hunk of metal? A dock? What do you all think?
As far as a vehicle goes it is definitely a movable object. The story comes to mind of the guy who was working on his roof and harnessed up for safety and looking for a good anchor point for his safety rope decided to secure it to the bumper of his truck. Worked well until his wife didn't see the rope attached and drove off to go to the store. If you see a string of catfish trailing a vehicle going down the road you will be able to picture the "safe" roofer bouncing over the roof and down the road.
