Not a problem at all. Thanks for watching👍👍

It has become really popular but the whole basis of the rig has been lost on alot of people. Its great using a hair rig on a pulley rig but that doesn't make it a dongle rig. It's the only rig that you can take the strain of the cast on the hook snood and offer a big big bait

Definitely worth having in your rig wallet but it has its limitations in the UK. Don't just use it because its fashionable, use it if its the best choice for the situation

Ideal rig for tope👍👍

Lol🤣 more and more names... I like it tho

It's a really good rig and for stingers it will work a treat👍

Exactly nick👍 it does have its limitations and if your fishing clean ground and small to medium baits there is no need for it as other rigs are better. I think people see it as fashionable now and don't see practicality. For Big sharks and big mouthed fish though it's a winner

Cheers Will👍

The dongle rig is specifically designed for casting big Big baits for big fish with a disposable lead link . You shouldn't have weaker line on an up and over because if you snag the lead you lose the whole rig or a good fish

@@gsp Good point lmao wasnt thinking properly...

Unfortunately there is no chance! It came from South Africa and is a stand alone rig. Its not these rigs that are basically a hair rig on a pulley rig. That isn't a dongle rig

Cheers suren👍

For big fish it can't be beaten 👍

@@gsp perfect bait presentation on it

Go boetie tell them bru!!!😂

SA version much more simple than this one

Many thanks Andrew. If you just search for baiting needle or baiting aid then a variety of options will come up. Sometimes they help and sometimes they dont

😂🤦‍♂️Yeah I can never be bothered to tie fg knots so if I'm tying braided line to mono leader I always use the 'slim beauty knot'. Never had an issue with it and once you get the hang of it kev it's easy👍

I got mine from from the local tackle shop. I think they are tronix pro

They do use the snell knot but most still use wide gape standard hooks and not circle hooks. The snell hook gives the hook a better angle to give better hook up success where as a circle hook works better without any restrictions of a knot hence the perfection loop. If the circle hook is rigid in any way to the line then there is the chance to hook will flick out of the mouth as you tighten down and your line pulls around the corner of the mouth. The rig is really good and give it a try but it does have limitations. I love fishing light lines but it does throws up a new set of challenges. I hope this idea works for you Ricky Slay👍👍 tight lines

​@@gsp Thanks for the info! Now I need to retie a bunch of rigs haha. In the last couple of months I have been experimenting with a rig with big circle hooks. I live in the Netherlands and the nearest beach is a 10km bike ride. The problem is there are so few "large" fish, you usually catch a few small flounders that swallow the bait so don't survive that. Now that I have switched to large circle hooks with a small bait line below the hook, I catch a bit larger seabass and flounder and usually the hook up is perfect. Just like your dongle rig, I have a loop at the end of the short bait line and clip it with in an imp, and I also have the whole bait line clipped above so it is folded. Just one hook for ultimate distance for our super shallow beach. Which circle hooks do you use? I can not find real circle hooks so I use Gamakatsu Octopus hooks but I don't think it's a real circle hook because the hook point is off set. It should be flat, right? And I am not sure if the hook eye should be in line with the steel or bent like the Gamakatsu Octopus. Please advise, thanks!

I use black magic circle hooks, they are really strong but probably too much hook for bass and flounder. Mustad demon circles are good hooks too and I've never had issues with them. At least the 10km bike ride keeps you in shape! I could do with that to burn off all the cakes and cookies I eat! 🤦‍♂️😂

@@gsp Thanks, I will buy some Mustad Demon Circle hooks. Luckily I've got an electric bike, but it only supports, I still need to paddle. There is one big dune with loose sand that I need to climb and that almost kills me. I am probably underweight 1.88m 70kg but that's because I smoke so much weed haha. The Weed Diet! I've got a funny story about fishing on Tenerife. My company had 4 day trip to Tenerife for the "Kick-Off" so I packed my suitcase full of travel rods. I was going to fish with my colleague but he was too busy at the event because he is the photographer. So I went fishing during the "leisure time" and walked along the beach for about 4km. First step off the path almost killed me haha. And the sea was too wild to catch anything. When I returned to the hotel I was way too late for the next event so I only joined them at dinner. My manager was not too happy when he found out haha. My only explanation was that I was in "fish mode" which usually lasts for at least 6 hours haha. If I had known it's no good fishing in the afternoon I would have probably gone fishing during the night and slept during the event!

I think for a 60lb tope you would🤔😂

@@gsp I reckon you’re right! 🤣 I’ve been testing out a double hooked knotless knot rig with the bottom hook purely for holding the bait, and the top hook proud. Hopefully I’ll get something bigger than this years pups to try it on in the next few weeks…

I wouldn't be using this rig for presenting worm baits. This rig is specifically designed for casting big big baits with a weak lead line. I wouldn't even try hair rigging a worm on a pulley rig because the best hook rate with small baits is going to be with the hook in bait👍

Using only 50lb mono kinda defeats the object of the rig. It's a rig to use a large bait and be able to cast the lead clipped to the hook length so the lead is on a weak link. You can present a big bait and cast it far with only 50lb mono, it will snap

I know! I think he's in hibernation 😂😂

​@@gsp he's turned in to hugh fernley whitingstall 😁

I have another video called the dongle rig explained where I demonstrate how to bait them up👍

It's not that simple and it has a whole different reason for use

Not the easiest of baits to mount on a dongle and if you're using a true dongle rig I would say that the rig is overkill for the bait. I would probably mount a peeler onto the shank of a circle hook on a pulley rig. If it's a big spidercrab peeler then I would bait elastic it to the dongle and just hook a tougher part onto the hook

Wanna meet up In westbay westgate for a fishing trip sometime

What was the messages

It is called a dingle dangle in SA but known as a Dongle here
