Thats strange, that's what that is!
Most likely, it is an engineering marvel. If I had to sell that on a TV infomercial, I'd tout it as a compact fly rod, whose innovative design allows this short rod to load like a much longer rod, allowing even inexperienced casters to deliver fly line (and fly) to extraordinary distances, even when surrounded on 3 sides by tall grasses or trees!
And, if the the fish aren't biting, you can hook up your cell phone, CB or portable TV for crystal clear reception anywhere on earth!

Oh, that....
Those are popular out west...they're for spring salmon.

Good one Mr Moose. I would venture a guess that it is some sort of ice fishing rig.

Ice fishng
I go with ice fishing rig! Of course, it could always be an Alaskan Halibut Rod.
Ice fishing rig -- used for jigs or ice flies -- sometimes used in a "tip-up" setup which has a flag raised when it "tips" to signify a strike -- so then it's "flying the flag".
"No matter how complicated life can get -- remember life is sometimes like fly fishing; after turning over every rock in the river trying to "match the hatch", you have probably spooked every fish for miles -- so don't let the "little things" BUG you -- just enjoy whatever you find." Mike Ormsby
Thank you !
I checked that linkage Panman but I see no mention of ice fishing....
I do agree those 'springers' could be used to fish through an ice hole.
What's next in fishing rods...pink?...rods named
after dogs?....dolls?...where did it all go...

"Just because we are able to do a thing does NOT mean we should"
This is appropriate here.
Thats short even for my small stream taste!
Hey now...
The concept may be valid, if unconventional.
I bet you could cast a fly line with it.
I'm sure folks were just as skeptical about the concept of line guides and how about plastic?...look where we are now...
