I was out messing around today and stopped by a auction/antique business, found something that caught my eye

Two old fiberglass telescoping jig poles with i'm guessing is a 12 volt coil on the bottom with a 12 volt plug , it had two eyes on the tip that were side by side... They where manufactured here in south carolina, I have never seen anything like them.

These where not home made... Didnt even think to take pictures.. Any ideas's
