daveh Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 thats up to you. i add 4 dashes of salt to 4 oz so the baits still float. i add 12 dashes of salt to 4oz for my wackey worms. but really unless you want your baits to sink a certin speed don`t need to add any. on stick baits follow dels recipe it works great. the measuing spoons i use is LC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalton206 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'm pouring lizzards, grubs and tubes. Don't need the salt for floating the bait, but to make it tastey for the fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorshane Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Honestly if thats all you want the salt for, I would forget the salt and use a good 100% oil scent instead of salt. Salt is mostly for weight and texture. The scent is less of a headache and easier to work with. Try upperhandscents.com they are great!

Bass-Boys Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Paster Shane, Is rite on.!!! if you will be using any type of weight with the bait no salt is needed..Some guys even fish weightless with out salt.. Salt mainly adds weight so the bait will sink..To much added salt will cause you to have to add softner also because a heavy salted bait is very firm.

longhorn Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) I add salt for another reason. Some colors will not look like I want unless I add salt (powder...not granules). For example salt and pepper. There's no dye in that color just salt powder and .035 black flake. I pulverize the salt in a blender to get powder. The salt powder makes the plastic slightly cloudy but most importantly makes it reflect light better IMO.
