Casting eggs? Anyone???

[JerseyCoast]

Saw this topic on another site and I thought it would fit well here too, as a discussion. How many of you guys use casting eggs? They are an awesome advantage for the surf fisherman, but NJ does not see much of them. I use them for several applications, they work well. We sell them time to time, but there has never been a big demand for them.

1- Use a teaser / fly to let it sit in a confused current, acting like a bait fish that is helpless, not able to depart the current.

2- Use teasers /fly on a long leader and slowly work the egg in, with a small amount of weight on the bottom, to make it like I am drifting on a boat. This method has caught me fluke, bass, weakfish over the summer months.

3- Use them with smaller lures such as a 1/4oz minnow that cant be casted out that far! You can make these smaller lures swim as if the egg was not there! Works great when spearing, rain fish, sandeels are in.

4-Use an action similar to a bucktail jig, creating splash, noise on top, while they spot your teaser, lure and take the easy meal!


There are tons of ways to use them, and no way is wrong! Ho wmany of you use them? I dont see them used much around here????
