Where to Use (Applications & Uses)

The 50mm Medium dongle is the perfect all-rounder for a variety of baits and species:

• Distance Casting for Bass & Whiting: The shorter 50mm length is ideal for smaller bait bundles like lugworm wraps or single squid strips. It keeps the profile tight to the hook for maximum distance during power casting.

• Ray Fishing: Excellent for pinning smaller sandeel or squid cocktails to the seabed. The 200lb stiffness ensures the bait doesnt wrap around the hook shank in fast-flowing water.

• Clean Ground Codding: Use this for smaller cocktail baits where you want the hook to sit just behind the bait, ensuring that even a cautious bite results in a solid hook-up.

Gerrys Pro Tip: > If you find the 50mm is still slightly too long for a specific bait, dont sweat it! You can shorten it even further by tying a simple overhand knot in the materialthis will reduce the length by approximately 10mm. The Gerrys Secret: That extra knot creates a small blob or shoulder on the dongle, which is perfect for anchoring softer baits (like mussel or soft hook-mackerel) when you are whipping them on with Baitex.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I attach these to my hooks? It couldnt be easier. You can either use a simple half-hitch knot around the hook shank or pass the dongle through its own loop, slip the hook bend through, and pull it tight. It creates a rock-solid connection in seconds.

What size hook is best for the 50mm Medium dongle? While versatile, these work exceptionally well with hook sizes from 1/0 up to 4/0. They are the perfect choice for standard Pennell rigs where you want the top hook to sit closely and securely.

Why use 200lb line for a dongle? Its all about rigidity. The 200lb material is incredibly stiff, which prevents the dongle from tangling or spinning during the flight of your cast. It ensures that when your rig hits the water, your bait is presented exactly how you intended
