They work well when you need to get something small out there. Many times the egg makes enough commotion to get the fishies attention and they take the bait...

SRI Casting Eggs
These are thru-wired, waterproofed and painted hi-vis yellow and they use Spro 250 Pound Swivels. They'll last until they are lost.
They are a good way to fish a Red Gill or small Cocahoe, or fly, to give them casting weight. Tie on the offering with a about 3 feet of mono or fluro and bring it in dead slow. I'm going to experiment drifting live crabs with them. |

Swimmer send me your address to scott@#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.com and I'll send you one to play with and I'll even rig it for you.
Like was said earlier it's an old time technique I believe invented by Jerry Sylvester in 1953 for fishing the rocky areas of Rhode Island. The picture on the website is one I did with my mouse and I stink at drawing on a computer.
I use them around Cuttyhunk and the Elizabeths on the boat with a 6'6" Musky stick/Penn 4500 the 1 oz size is a pisser match with 12 lb test.
Anyone who has never tried it should put a rig in their bag and try it. It works. Hard to beat the versatility of a solid piece of wood. |
