The Collapsible "Garpoon" was developed by Gadget.
It isn't meant for fishing, though after minimal modifications it can be used for it.
The "Garpoon" was intended to "fish out"
small items (photos, papers and etc.) from tables at the police station.
Once they "fished out" Dale with it
in "Chocolate Chips" (#33).
The "Garpoon" includes a collapsible ruler with a pin and a rope
attached to it. The rope is coiled at reel with a handle. When separated,
the ruler works as a fishing-rod for casting the pin. Then turning the reel
pulls the pin back.
