Have you tried asking him directly?
Or just comment on the YouTube video/channel.
I tried watching it, the screaming hurts my ears, stopped after few seconds.
There's a lot of overhead reels and rods like that, and can do the same job.

you get used to the screaming, i have been thinking of commenting on his video for a while, he has insta linked in his vids but i dont have insta, so its kinda hard to ask him directly. you said there's a lot of overhead rods and reels like that, can you suggest any?

That is a slow pitch jigging rod. Absolutely useless to anyone without a boat.
They are designed to fish metal jigs vertically, exactly like he is doing. Or maybe some bait from a boat if you want to multi task it.
You cannot cast with that rod due to the way it's made to bend when under load.
