Casting Egg & Fly Kit- Large

A Casting Egg is a wooden bobber egg that has wire running through it ending in loops that you attach to your main line, and attach a leader to the other end with either cut bait, a lure or fishing fly. It is designed to let you fish around rocks without hanging up. It also lets you suspend bait or a lure out where you want it. It’s a weighted float that casts a long distance with a spinning rod.  A technique developed long ago by Striped Bass anglers.

What are the screws on the eggs for?  You place the hook of your flys, teasers, jigs, bucktails or small lures on the nail and then cast. The hook releases on splashdown. Prevents the leaders from tangling on the cast.

 Easy way of casting light weight fly’s & lures with spinning gear. A technique developed long ago by Striped Bass anglers.

🎣 Casting Egg Techniques: Fly & Bait Fishing with One Simple Tool

The StickyLures Casting Egg is one of the most versatile tools in your tackle box. Whether you’re a fly angler without a fly rod or a bait fisherman looking to reach feeding fish from shore, this casting egg makes it possible.

🪶 Fly Fishing with a Casting Egg (Using Spinning Gear)

Want to fish flies but don’t have a fly rod? The casting egg solves that.

How it works: The casting egg adds weight to your line, allowing you to cast lightweight flies like streamers or sand eel patterns using a regular spinning rod.

Setup:

• Tie your mainline to the casting egg.
• Add a 3 to 6-foot fluorocarbon leader (15–20 lb) to the egg.
• Tie on your fly (e.g., Clouser Minnow, Deceiver, or teaser fly).

Technique:

• Cast out and retrieve with slow twitches and pauses.
• Mimics injured baitfish or sandworms — deadly for striped bass and mackerel.
• Ideal for surfcasting, tidal rivers, or off wharves.

Bonus: Perfect for kids and beginners who want to try fly-style fishing without needing a fly setup.

🪱 Bait Fishing with a Casting Egg

The casting egg isn’t just for flies — it’s a killer bait rig too.

How it works: The egg allows you to cast light baits (like worms, shrimp, or cut mackerel) far out and keep them suspended in the strike zone — instead of sinking to the bottom or casting short.

Setup:

• Thread the casting egg onto your mainline.
• Attach a swivel, then a 2 to 4-foot fluorocarbon leader.
• Tie on a bait hook and add your favorite bait (bloodworm, squid strip, soft plastic, etc.).

Technique:

• Cast out and let the egg keep your bait floating and drifting naturally.
• Retrieve slowly or let it drift with the current.
• Especially effective for targeting striped bass in tidal rivers and saltwater shorelines.

Pro Tip: Add scent for even more bites. Works great with artificial baits like Gulp! or real chunks of mackerel or clam
