Those rods are very common in Europe for bankfishing. They don't cast with them tho. The line is tied to a piece of thin bungee that goes into the last couple of sections of the pole. The bungees come in different strengths. The line is then dropped directly under the end of the pole, typically using a very thin, sensitive float.
