Jsnorman,

Salutations for the heads up; that peculiar wild story is an understatement. John Atlas must have been Scuba diving in a shipping lane.Wild story!
That assertion belies contention if not ridicule for the following reason. As you have recently noted, my approach to a problem is surgical, clinical and unobtrusive. Which leads to the abstract concept that your personal disillusionment on the subject matter has no bearing, whatsoever, since you have failed to mention the last time you went diving and had to drag a float.Sir, with all due respect, your solution sucks.
Right back at you, Dude. When was the last time YOU had to drag a flag? If that is essential information to make a suggestion credible, then please provide it to butress your suggestion.That assertion belies contention if not ridicule for the following reason.

It needed some strength to pull apart. The OP can test different rated swivels to see what works best. If he is concerned about outboard legs and propellers then he should leave line spacing between the connection to accommodate the boat's draft. Could even use a few ball sinkers through the line to keep the float from drifting too far if the swivel should break.How many lbs did it take to break that?
I had to let one go once. It may still be floating around in Georgian Bay east of Tobermory.Yep, they have hardly changed in 40 years. That they are a little hard to unwind is a feature, not a flaw. Other reels may prove more convenient in currents or other situations, but these are really a good general purpose way to handle towing a flag. If you you need to let it go, just straighten your arm and it is gone. I’ve only let go once and the boater (an overloaded row boat of fishermen) did return it.
Sometimes the simple solution is the best.
