I have been fishing with my finwick lunker stick and abu 5000c since the 80's. It has the normal pole handle. I recently got a used black max 3600 and am looking for a pole for it but all the casting rods have extra long handles. Does any one make a normal casting rod anymore?
Look for a spin cast rod. I think it will be perfect.

You can also look at Kayak fishing rods! They are made with shorter handles! It makes it easier to cast when sitting in a Kayak! You get a rod that has all the features of a regular rod, but with a smaller handle! Bass pro and Cabela's have some for sale!Mojo Yak Casting Rod from St. Croix is one example!
