are we talking about a G5RV or a Windom or both?
I've had some success with both on the low bands especially (160 80 40M).

Off-center fed antennas are a really bad idea, primarily because they
make the feedline a part of the antenna. This puts RF in the shack,
increases the likelihood of RFI to your neighbors, and picks up noise to
interfere with the stations you're trying to work. A common mode choke
could solve this problem, BUT: the off-center feed places a very high
common mode voltage across the choke, making it likely to fry.
