not an antenna i'm familiar with Booty, i could only go on what the original poster said, but you might well be right that he's referring to the coil or its tapping link as a gamma match when it isn't. one things for certain, if a proper 5/8 wave gp isn't blowing an i max away,something is wrong with it.

most antenna problems turn out to be coax or plug install problems. there's not much can go wrong with a 5/8 wave except a blown coil or serious corrosion. i've known them to lose radials, have the top section slide inside and they still work reasonably well.
