It should also be noted that back in the days when the ladies would mend socks they used an wood egg that they would place inside the sock to mend it. These eggs may still be available where thread and needles are still being sold. They were one of the first casting eggs that I made up . Simply drill a hole through the egg and wire it like a plug, with a loop on each end. As the vidio above shows the use of a small jig can be upgraded to a larger one, depending upon the size of the egg you use..

The use of an casting egg does provide for more opportunities in some locations where the surf surges provide all the motion one needs with out even moving the egg once you cast it out.
