I recollect the generic term "kellet" and that there was a commercial

True. That doesn't mean you need to carry it right at the bow.

Misunderstanding here! I gave up the idea of an all chain rode when
I
gave up on my version of Badger. The short heavy length is what I'm
thinking of. Or a keggle.

Don't know what a keggle is.

I've been having trouble finding the correct spelling for the gadget.

What I'm referring to is a weight which slides down the rode, part way,
to emulate the catenary you'd get with the chain. It has its own light
line
for recovery and positioning.
