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

Tronixpro Pre-Tied Dongles – 200lb | Medium | 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 in the dark or with cold hands. These Tronixpro Pre-Tied Dongles have been specifically developed to take the hassle out of your rig building, making your session much more efficient.

At 50mm, this shorter version is the “goldilocks” size for many UK sea anglers. It provides just enough clearance to keep your hook point 100% exposed while keeping the bait compact and aerodynamic for those extra yards on the cast. Finished in high-visibility yellow, these 200lb-test dongles are as tough as they come.

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 doesn’t 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.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: > If you find the 50mm is still slightly too long for a specific bait, don’t sweat it! You can shorten it even further by tying a simple overhand knot in the material—this will reduce the length by approximately 10mm. The Gerry’s 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 couldn’t 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? It’s 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
