This type of fishing rod was used when ice fishing. It is made of wood, and has a long shaft and a handle that is offset from the shaft. Two wood pegs have been inserted through holes drilled fore and aft in the shaft. Wrapped around these pegs is a line made from several strips of baleen knotted together.
