What is this?

Cleaning out my fathers tool room in the basement this item was found. It is wooden, looks hand made, it is very lite, no markings. It is about 10 1/2 in long and about 1 inch wide. it kind of looks like a large clothes pin. their is a nail in one side with some sort of material under it. does anyone know what this thing is and what it was used for.

Looks like a handle to a strap wrench

today a friend of my father stopped by. I asked him if he knew what the wooden item was. He said his father used some like that for his trout lines. he said he put the hooks in the opening after all hooks were on they wrapped the line around handle, he said their usually was a piece of inner tube attached to cover the hooks. I dont know if that is what it was made for or just a use of it.
