[Paddlewise] Fox 40 Throw line

While wandering through a marine shop a while back, out of the corner 
of my eye I saw one of these on a shelf:

At first I thought it was a Nerf football (the kind with the fins on 
the back).

It is a throw line, with the line stored inside the body of the 
thing.

It struck me that it could be thrown like a football (American, not 
soccer).  I'm no Heisman contender, but a football is pretty easy to 
throw with some accuracy and distance compared to a floppy throw bag. 
Of course, it's one thing to imagine this and another to do it.  The 
handle on the front end could really mess up a throw and, if wet, it 
might be difficult to grip and get a good spin/throw.

Anyone try one of these?   Can you throw it like a football with any 
success?

Mike
