I've seen and handled one. Found it a bit awkward to be honest. I think what you want is an offset like the old 15 degree Wiebe type casting handle, not a sideways bent butt like the Cobra.

I don't know who make an offset handle anymore. Loomis used them on rods many years ago before I was building custom rods. I owned two and really, really, really liked that offset. It was just so much easier on your wrist. Seemed like it had a more natural position.
