Pitbull Baits Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 When you add salt you are adding weight to the plastic so it sinks. For adding salt I use a 1/4 cup to a cup and half. Its really up to you how much you use. I think some people use 2 cups plastic and one cup salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saggitarius449 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) This is just a general stick baits recipe that alot of people follow: 1 cup plastic 1/4 cup softener 1/2 cup salt I myself do not like to use that much salt, i use about 1/4 cup to a cup of plastic. Just use this as a general guideline and tweak it a little yourself until you get a recipe you like. Like pitbull said it makes your baits sink the more salt the faster it will sink. I dont know if the fish like it as much a the fishermen do. Some say that the fish will hang onto it longer, I guess its just your preference.
