My guess is one of 2 things:
1 - Small spectra section to help with abrasion resistance for lined fish. I've seen different versions of this, but never bothered myself.
2 - Small spectra section to reduce diameter. The riffe euro mechs are tight - you can't fit 300 or 400# test with what looks like a 17/64" shaft... or if you manage to do so, it'll mess it up real bad. The spectra allows you to still use mono while being able to fit a high #-rating line in the mech.
fuzz, what fish are those? Maybe one is a pacific cubera , the other some kind of grouper.. Mexico fish?
Don Paul have you seen this before? in your experience what is the purpose, thanks all.
I have never seen any thing like that, I agree with Fuzz, I think it is jury rigged to get by with something that does not fit.
Cheers, Don
"what fish are those?"
Mangrove Jack and Purple Cod
What he said. 
Dan, it's on the Aussie Riffe site, so probably Australian fish. 
Wow that's confusing. The red one is definitely in the snapper family. What do you think they call jacks?
the cod's body looks like a huge Largemouth Bass which is confusing as well
