They are used to cast small flies on spinning or conventional tackle. The flie (tied to a flourocarbon leader) is attatched to the casting egg by hanging it on the nail. When the egg hits the water the flie pops off and it and is then retrieved.

I see you got the weight on them....we throw small jigs on them same as you built (maybe the nail down a little).but I tryed to put some lead to get more distance...tailed weighted....the jig lalls off(3/8oz)...funny never thought it would happen...but I quess the weighted egg go faster than the jig causing the jig to come off....they look good

The egg will float and keep the teaser off the bottom that's why a 3'leader so it can just roll with the current

Saltys had the in 2 sizes for 7.50 & 8.50 but you can go to Michaels and buy the eggs for .69 each. You can either drill them through and put a through wire or just go with the screw in eyes. You can throw a little exopy on the threads and there not coming out.
