That's Serenity. From Wikipedia:
| Quote: | | The ship, which is designated a 03 Firefly-class, fits the profile of a light freighter, having a cargo area equivalent to about six or nine semis. The photon-reaction drive in the bulbous rear section of the ship lights up when accelerating, resembling a firefly and, thus, the class moniker. The engine nacelles rotate down like a VTOL aircraft. Whenever the ship lands, her wings fold down like the wings of a bird coming to rest. The aft of the ship is outfitted with extenders beside and below the photon-reaction drive to ease the turbulence of lift-off and atmospheric re-entry. As she is a run-of-the-mill civilian cargo vessel, Serenity has no weapons or defenses beyond the guile and skill of her crew. |

Dude--I had thought that was a fishing reel forever, until out of the blue the other day I thought: "Isn't that the name of the ship on Firefly?"
I amaze myself sometimes.  |

Well in all fairness, it doubles as a fishing reel in a pinch.
