Casting Eggs
New design for 2009 includes the brad installed to hold the hook in flight as done by Jerry Sylvester in the 50's!
 

1 oz and 2 oz casting eggs, a technique developed long ago by the pioneers of Striped Bass fishing. Used as a floating weight to cast with spinning gear for fishing around rocks etc, tie one side to your line, then you tie a short length of mono with a fly teaser/deceiver fly to the other side, the egg will float and have a "roly poly" action on top which attracts fish, then they see your fly etc and hit it! I will allow you to fish areas you normally can't due to excessive rocks etc. JUST the places that Striped Bass and most gamefish like to hang out :)
The eggs are very aerodynamic and cast very well! We've had these used worldwide on many different kinds of fish.
Absolutely deadly technique!

Ideally the best way to rig this is with a 4-5' leader of 30lb fluoro, and use the nail to hang the hook on the egg. Cast and the force of the wind keeps the fly, clam belly, sluggo, etc together with the egg. The egg lands and the force of the splash will cause the hook to fall off...fish it in!

"I bought a couple of the casting eggs from you and they work great!
I put a 3' 30lb leader on with a large white deceiver fly and caught black fin tuna off the beach most fish were in the 15lb 20lb range."

"Love your plugs! I have a couple of your swimmers and your casting egg, they rock."

"Met you at the Somerset show. Those Eggs work!"

"I have to tell you that egg rigged with a slug-go is my go to setup lately. I have caught so many fish with it!"
