Moses, the casting egg should have a piece of stainless wire or nail stuck in a drill hole in the top part of the egg, and it sticks up at about a 45 degree angle. You tie or clip the egg to the main running line, and from the bottom of the egg you have a leader about 30" or so that you tie your jig/teaser etc. to. When casting, you take the jig and hook it on the wire/nail sticking out of the top of the egg, with the leader hanging below. You now cast the egg ang jig together. The jig will either fall off half way in the air, or when it hits the water. You can really lay into a cast this way, and it is much better balanced and aerodynamic. If you dont hang the jig like this, it will cast like crap and helicopter.
