mainbutter Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Am I able to use grocery store salt and grind it into a powder via a blender for adding salt to baits, or do I need to get specialty salts online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Am I able to use grocery store salt and grind it into a powder via a blender for adding salt to baits, or do I need to get specialty salts online? That would work fine. Buy the salt with out anything added. I use Morton's Pickling salt right out of the box. Some "flour" it some don't. If you do flour it, you will get a more opaque bait. Experiment a little to see what works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBK Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Sure will! I use regular non-iodized salt and it works fine at $1 per pound. I tried off brand iodized once and it turned the bait brownish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red ranger Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) DO NOT use iodide salt . IODIDE CAN KILL FISH I use morton salt with out grinding it works just fine even with 1 to 1 ratio in volume for stick baits Edited January 8, 2010 by red ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bait Man 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I use Bears Super Fine Salt.... The cost is about $ 7.00 for a gallon I think but it works good and stirs easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Whatever salt you use make sure it's 100% pure. Table salt has iodine, sugar and other additives in it. I use pickling salt. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorlings Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Do you find that with pickling salt you get a clearer bait versus ultra fine or floured salt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
