Chas is a better caster than most of us. I think he makes the erroneous
assumption that just because he can do something with no trouble, all
of us can do it.

Casting a three weight into the wind is a bitch!

Thanks for the complement Willi, but I've seen a few folks who can cast
circles around me. I think the essence of what I'm suggesting here is
that casting lessons and some practice are a better solution than
archaic equipment. I remember my father talking about draping his old
silk lines around the cabin to dry every night when he was up north
fishing. He also talked about the surprise breaks caused by rotten
spots in the line.
