Casting flounder lures

[willow]

I had the luck to be invited out on a workmates boat fishing for flounder over the xmas. We had a really good day with over 20 fish caught in 5 hrs between two of us. The secret ingredient was a sthingy, I started off not using them & had nothing whilst my mate with a sthingy was every cast. As soon as I switched to a sthingy the fish came. We were both using fair size sthingys approximately 4 inches in length.
Is there a sthingy specifically designed to cast well? I could fish alot of the shore marks maybe with the same success as our boat session but would like the precaution of the sthingy incase I cant attract them without.
Thanks
Bill

Thats strange, I put the title as "Casting Flounder Spoons" & it was automatically changed to "casting flounder sthingys".
Didnt know spoons was a considered a rude word?

LOL!!!!!! the obscured word is knife fork & pudding sp..n

20 flounders, where were you?
with a good carp rod you can cast quite some distance(15yrs) with a spoon, but if you still cant get enough distance fix a 2 oz ball wieght behind the spoon and you should be able to double the distance

A tad over-sensitive that feature.

I know what you mean Willow, the spOOn can tangle around the rig body when casting anything more than a flick.
Use the spOOn with an up & down rig. The rig will open to form a ledger rig but will cast like a clipped rig.
