- After being asked by one of our FCA viewers to explain how to make Gary's take on the dongle rig, David provides a step by step guide on how to tie this simple but effective rig.
David also provides his views on the question of whether we think it will work for longer more delicate worm baits.
We hope you find this video informative and please let us know how you get on if you choose to give it a go!
As always thanks for watching and tight lines. FCA
Nice vid Bud. For Blacks, prewhip them on a baiting needle, cut to length and whip to the dongle and nick with the hook. Works for me.
Spot on Rick I’ll give it a crack 👍
The perfection loop allows the circle hook to rotate freely and set itself. Having the hook eye fixed with a tight knot doesn't allow as much action.... It'll still work, and I dont suppose the cod will be bothered 😅👍🏻
Yeah appreciate that mate, it was always a lazy mans version of the real thing. Although it’s interesting that in South Africa where I believe the original Dingle Dangle was made, they whip the hook rather than using a perfection loop. I wonder if that was purely a strength issue due to the size of fish they were catching 🤷♂️
hello, wondering if the loop would be easier if you use a crimp. thread line through and back then crimp.
Hi Andrew, it may well be, trial and error I suppose. Give it a crack and let me know how you get on👍
Appreciate the video mate, I’ll definitely be using these when I target some hounds this month
Excellent let us know how you get on👍
@@fullcircleangling Rigs made, just need to find some Huss. Hopefully Blackpool delivers.. 🙏

Hi Dave I have tied a dongle like same as this one 70Ib straight through using the knot less knot. I have ordered some of the trident tackle components, I had found a lost rig on my last beach session which had a roto bait clip after tying the dongle the loop didn't eject once the paddle is pushed up not like using a hook. Do you prefer using the imp for the dongle rig I have got some Gemini lead clip that works just as a normal pulley 👍
Hi Michael, good stuff. yeah I’d say the imp is the better option for the dongle👍
@@fullcircleangling cheers Dave il have to buy some imps for the dongle rigs and use the trident tackle for the normal pulley rigs. Going to watch your latest trip with sloppy limpets later on always a good watch good luck and tight lines thanks again for the advice 👍🎣🎣🎣
Great video mate..would it be better using a crimp on the loop to slide the bait on easier??
Cheers 🍻
I guess you could do that Mark yes, good ideal👍
Hi Dave I am going to watch your video on how to make the dongle rig which sounds easy to make. Could you substitute the neoprene rig tubing for something like the core off a cable if you take the wire out or maybe the inside of a pen or would the tube be to rigid just an idea. But I will watch how you make yours thanks for all your videos m8 keep up the good work a d hope yourself and Gary have many tight lines 👍🎣🎣🎣
Cheers Michael. I guess there’s no right or wrong answer, trial and error. Let me know how you get on 👍 tight lines and thanks a lot for watching👍👍
@@fullcircleangling cheers m8 I will do, as I'm on a budget and get fishing when I can I got a brand new Ron Thompson axellarator off eBay for £60 with £15 postage a right bargain.
@@michaelabbott6271 nice one mate tight lines👍
@@fullcircleangling cheers m8 👍
I've always used amnesia on my pulley rigs. You say you are using 70lb mono straight through. Do you look for any specific properties ie larger diameter mono to increase the abrasiveness or is it really a case of any 70lb mono will do? Cheers and well done on a really unique video 👍
Thanks very much Larry. I generally look for a good quality reliable brand first and foremost, Asso seems to be my choice presently. It doesn’t necessarily have to be 70lb, you could go a lot heavier if you wanted, as long as your crimps had sufficient diameter to take the mono. I’d would say that I’d use 70lb as a minimum. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment 👍
Could I attach the loop to a splashdown clip? Would that work instead of an imp? Great vid by the way. Just subscribed
Hi Dave. Thanks very much for subscribing and commenting, much appreciated 🙏
I’ve never tried it but I think you’d be ok doing that mate, let me know how it goes, tight lines 👍
Hi mate. Love your vids on here. Where abouts did you get that bait needle from? You fish all the local areas to me as I’m from Northumberland 💪
Thanks a lot mate really appreciate that 🙏👍 I think Gary gets them from any fresh water tackle shop. Somewhere like Frasers I’m Gateshead will have them I think, hope that helps👍
Actually the " dingle dangle" rig was designed by Leviathan Angling club in South Africa for casting big baits long distance, its been used for 8 years now to target any thing from 80kg rays and sharks to edible fish...
ps, give credit where its due
Wow! Did not know that! Thanks for sharing. If I ever use it I’ll be sure to correct myself and give it its credit! Thanks for commenting and tight lines!
