Not sure about why their not on the internet, But I was raised by a Mullet fisherman and that's all I've ever heard them called.
I thought it might be called something else elsewhere, so after you said you couldn't find it, I called three boat dealers here in Albany. All three said "Birddog" is all they have ever heard them called.

CS Is correct on that BirdDog. Had one growing up with 300 yards of mono on the table. Not exactly acceptable gear today though.
