Sorry, never seen this before.  What is it?

it's a pad (the spikes are soft) that you put your extra fly line in so it doesn't fall in the water, tangle on the boat and is otherwise accessible for smooth casting. I let out about 50 feet of line when we are hunting for reds and that's a lot of excess line to be just lying there without something to keep it in place.

some use buckets instead.

on calm days such tools may be optional for some, but on windy days they are pretty much a necessity for fly fishing.

in that pic I have a fish on the line and it's taken all the slack and I've got it on the reel so you can't see how that pad is used here.
