If your not worried about accuracy than it is actually quit simple to cast a heavy jig or spinner with a fly rod. My buddy has used his 3wt to cast spinners, and actually caught fish this way. He just strips it in real fast. I have used a large streamer tiped with cisco meat at bl to chase macs by jigging them. The easiest way to cast that i have found is to pull out a large qauantitly of line and make sure it doesnt get caught on something, then with about 10 ft or so of line past the tip of your rod, just give it a chuck like you would your spinning rod. The heavier weight will pull the line through and you can get pretty good distance. Start expermenting and see what happens.
