It's a pvc tube weighted with lead that's lightly hooked to the rod tip with a rubber band. After a bite and line pulls out a few inches it releases and slides down the line, and eliminates chafing on the leader directly above the hook.
Not IGFA legal if that is a consideration, but a great idea, especially if you have to use light leaders to get a bite or are fighting big fish a long time.
