The article is drifting for steelhead in rivers.
For chucking large weighted flies, the anglers makes his own
leaders and starts with a 30" piece of 40 lb test butt section, jointed
with the now taperless line by nailknot. He then adds a 12" piece of 20
lb. connected with a double uni-knot. Then bloodknots on his long 10 lb.
tippet/tippets depending on the fly or flies used, and adds splits
accordingly.

Said chucking large heavy flies is a lot easier as well as putting in
a cast mend.

It's an interesting technique, and something I would like to experiment

In my own WTF way

Hmmm....."Weight Taper Forward"?
