strange looking rod... any thoughts?
Message:
So at a yard sale the other day I came across a weird looking rod. Unfortunately I didn’t think to write down the name so I could look it up later… the guy wanted more for it than I had on me anyway. It had a nice looking Daiwa compact baitcasting reel on it which is what drew my attention… but the rod itself was very strange. The base of the rod was extremely thick, like 5/8 or 3/4 of an inch. It was like this from the handle to about 1/3 of the way up, where it tapered fairly rapidly (maybe within 8 inches) down to approximately a normal medium action thickness. From there to the tip, it looked like a medium action rod. Overall the rod was about 6 feet long. Anyone know what the heck this thing might have been, and/or what the idea behind this strange design was?

By the way both the rod and reel looked fairly new, probably made within the last 10 years or so if i had to guess
