Thanks Mario I have just bought some dongle rigs and you have explained the baiting process very well, and will follow you suggestions when using a dongle, many thanks
Ive found during a bit of experimenting, that i wasnt completely confident due to the way that the bait on a dongle sits so close to the point of the hook. Was getting quite a few missed bites. Tried the same thing with Varivas Catfish hooks. Was finding the same benefits with dongle ie no more swallowed hooks, but 100% hookups due to how the hookpoint sits nice and proud from the bait👍
Smashing it on the dongle up here for hounds 👍 smashing dogs on the full maccy and Pollock but guaranteed to work for the grey ghosts 👍 you ever heard of Charlie locker 😁
Really informative. One bait you didn't use was a king prawn. Is that because dongle rig is unsuitable for a bait that has a tendancy to curl? Brilliant video.
@@stevebrophy8178 it's definite can be used on a dongle. I have only used it a couple times to be honest. I would peel it, cut it down the center and elastic thew two peices either side of the dongle. It would stop it curling as much

Thanks mate, I'm glad you found it helpful
Great video I learned a lot from that. Can see you really think about your fishing.
Great video Mario mate 👌🏽
Brilliant info , I’m gonna try this next trip out , 👍👍👍
Thanks for the video. Superglue soaked into the braid dongle loop definitely helps release.
@@debar1944 I've seen a few people do that, never tried it as I've never had much problem with it coming off but definitely something worth trying
@@marioasprou8548 You can shape the loop a little as well and it feels like plastic when hard. I got the idea from Zoo Look Fishing on UA-cam.

Awesome vid butty 👍
Thank you
Thank you!
Nice video
taken a lot from this, thanks! could i ask what braid u use for your dogles?
@@IIIIMOOSEIIII I use spectra in 200lb. It's a cheap braid on ebay. No need to use anything expensive
Nice tutorial Mario. Short fat baits all day long instead of long and thin.
Mario what length dongle you using good vids keep them coming
@@paulwilliams-rk6fy thanks mate, for the crab baits I tie them 40mm and then 70mm for fish baits

Thanks for that. I will definitely give that a go. 👍
Hi Mario we're do you get your bait elastic
I use the Tronixpro Baitex
I use the heavy version for my general fishing and then drop down the the medium or light if I'm useing small delicate baits
