Hi David !
Many match anglers in the UK use poles to fish so they can target the one area easier ! poles are really long they can be any where up to 10metres long and come in metre long sections which you attach together the further out you want to fish the extra sections you add on to get it out further.
as for the cup on the end of the pole that is used to add ground bait in, all you do is get your pole to the area you want it and twist your pole slightly so that the ground bait falls out of the cup and into the area you want it.
Many mach fishermen use this method of fishing because it's fast and effective, i think the maximum size weight in fish you can have on the end of a pole would be around 20lb.
I'm not really a fan of pole fishing but there are many that are.
hope this helps you understand it more.
