I was thinking more of the type used for exiting aircraft. My friend in Mississippi has a 9 ft. 7 or 8 wt. that I think will chuck quite well. He's just a fuzz under 6' 5" and was pushing 290 the last I heard so he should be able to provide ample power.

I got out in my yard with a 5/6 wt. I could do about 30 ft. with it, but in my mind's eye I can see a nice largemouth exploding on the thing near the edge of lily pads, a grass line or my a old log. The trick is going to be letting the fish get it in her mouth to get a good hook set.
