Chris Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I was wondering how the Fine Alberger salt worked that I read about in an earlier post. I am looking to order some but when I spoke to AL at Harvey Salt he said that the Fine Alberger is th popcorn salt. I have found that popcorn salt clouds the baits when you put anything close to the amount that Yamamoto puts in his. I was thinking maybe to order the regular Alberger but was hoping for some guidence. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_N_Fool Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Any salt will cloud the bait some, but I found that just regular non-Iodized table salt ran threw a blender works just great. I grind some up fresh every time I need it as the powdered salt draws mosture real easy. I turn the blender on high as it goes for about 5 min. untill it is like dust. Then I pour 3/4 of a cup of uncooked plastic and add 1/4 cup of salt till the mix is at the 1 cup line. Cook and mix it good and it comes out great! It is still semi-tranparent done this way. Makes a nice fast fall senko type bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docirv Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I bought a lot of that alberger salt. It is supposed to be clear, but it isn't. It is not really any better in that regard than any other salt you run through the grinder. The biggest advantage was cost, $12 for 80 pounds.

charkins Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I grind mine with a coffee grinder. It works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Docirv which version of the salt did you buy? I believe that it would make a difference. The salt that you find in Senkos is finer then table salt but more course than Popcorn salt. I think that it may be the regular Alberger.

docirv Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I got the very fine salt, almost like a powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 How does it mix? Does it stay suspended better than popcorn salt? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docirv Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 It seems to mix a whole lot better with less settling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 From the info that I have read I am guessing that the point of using the Alberger salt is because of the properties of the crystals. They are supposed to be lighter then regular salt crystals. I think that I am going to order some of the regular Alberger and see what happens. I will keep you posted.

alsworms Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I know you guys have probably mentioned this a bunch of times, but where do I get some of this salt? I'm interested in giving it a try. I like the popcorn salt, but keeping it mixed is a pain. If the Alberger stays suspended and will make the bait fall at the same rate.......sounds like a winner to me. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
