braveviper Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Does anyone know how many 5"1/4 worms you can make from a quart of plastic? A gallon? Im using Dels stick mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 about 350-500 per gallon it all depends on how much salt and softener you add. for example if you use the 1 cup plastic 1/2 cup salt 1/4 cup softener meathod you will get more then if you use super soft plastic no softener and 1/4 cup of salt.

Bass-Boys Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Del, what way is cheaper ( of the 2 ways you posted ) to make the most worms? Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 there really is no cheaper way, its all by volume. I guess if you use lots of salt you could make it cheaper. 1 gal of plastic with 1 quart of softener mixed with salt would have more volume than 1 gal of super soft plastic mixed with salt. the only way that I know of to make baits cheaper is to buy plastic in bigger quanities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 get a postal scale there around 30 bucks . the plastic weighs the same raw in the jug as it does in a finished bait. just put a bait on the scale and do the math.if a worm weighs .20 of the ounce you know you will get 5 in a ounce. theres a 128 ounce in a gallon you can figure out your yield plus if you need 25 worms you can make up the exact amount of plastic you need with no leftover .
