Tronixpro Pre Tied Dongles – 200lb – Large – 50mm – Yellow

Tronixpro Pre-Tied Dongles – 200lb | Large | 50mm | Yellow (5 Pack)

The popularity of dongle rigs has absolutely exploded in recent years, and for good reason—they offer the ultimate in bait presentation. At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that building these rigs from scratch can be fiddly, especially when the fishing is fast or the weather is against you. These Tronixpro Pre-Tied Dongles have been specifically developed to take the hassle out of your rig building, making your session much more efficient.

The Large 50mm version is the “powerhouse” choice for anglers using heavy-gauge hooks but wanting a compact, streamlined bait profile. It provides enough clearance to keep your hook point 100% exposed while keeping larger baits tight and aerodynamic for maximum distance. Finished in high-visibility yellow, these 200lb-test dongles are built to withstand the most powerful pendulum casts.

Product Specifications

Where to Use (Applications & Uses)

The Large 50mm dongle is the perfect choice when you are stepping up your gear for bigger fish but still need a tight, neat presentation:

• Specimen Bass & Cod: Ideal for mounting large blow lug or squid wraps on heavy 4/0 to 6/0 hooks. The 50mm length keeps the bait close to the hook for better aerodynamics during long-range surf casting.

• Ray & Smoothhound Fishing: Perfect for securing hard-shell crab or large squid/sandeel cocktails. The Large size loop easily accommodates thicker-wired specimen hooks used for these powerful fish.

• Fast Tide Marks: In high-current areas like the Bristol Channel or the Mersey, the 200lb stiffness ensures your bait stays extended and doesn’t wrap around the hook shank or snood.

Gerry’s Pro Tip:

If you need an even more compact presentation, you can shorten this dongle further! Simply tie a standard overhand knot in the material to reduce the length by approximately 10mm. The Gerry’s Advantage: Adding this knot creates a small “blob” or shoulder on the dongle, which acts as a brilliant anchor point to stop softer baits from sliding down when you are whipping them on tight with Baitex!

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I attach the dongle to my hook?

They are incredibly simple to fit. You can either use a basic half-hitch knot around the hook shank, or pass the dongle through its own loop, slide the hook bend into the loop, and pull it tight for a rock-solid lasso hold.

What is the difference between the Medium and Large sizes?

While both are 50mm in length, the Large version features a slightly wider loop and a more robust finish, making it much easier to fit onto heavy-duty, thick-wired specimen hooks (up to 8/0).

Why use 200lb material for such a short dongle?

It’s not just about the strength; it’s about the stiffness. The ultra-thick 200lb material ensures the dongle remains rigid during the flight of a 6oz lead, preventing the bait from masking the hook point upon impact with the water.
