Looks like a collapsible dapping rod to me. 11' for small streams?
If you really want a backcountry dapping rod, don't carry a rod at all.
Cut yourself a switch, screw in some eyelets, string it up and dap away!
Throw it away when finished fishing and find another the next day or use it again if the "taper" is to your liking.
I'm sure the tenkara rods are very nice, but personally, I would invest in a 3 or 4 piece packable rod if you don't want to go primitive.
Just my thoughts!

When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
