Dink Mendez Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hey fellow members, I has been a long time since I poured some stick bait. I pulled the molds out and blew the dust of the molds. Please forgive me, I don't remember if I purchased Diamond Crystal Pop corn salt or Diamond Crystal Fine salt. I believe in 2007 a member on the subject told me to use diamond salt senko, I know it suspended well and pours great. I forgot a lot of information on pouring and trying to recover my lost information. I was involved in a bad auto collision, The guardian angel saved my life. I'm coming around on pouring bait again for myself. I just don't remember on the salt details and amount. Thanks for members and Tackleunderground.

nedyarb Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I had been using kosher salt that I had ground up in an old blender. It really changed the look of my sticks and gave them a cloudy ugly look. Tonight I tried the picking salt and did not grind it up . What a huge difference, the baits look much better. Thanks for the tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Standard formula close to GYBC is4 oz medium plastic2 heaping tablespooms salt1 tablespoon softenerAdd salt after heating plastic and stir stir stirPickling salt from Walmart is good and bait can be fairly clear. Less durability thoughPowdered salt suspends better and durability wont be as bad, but it tends to turn the plastic white and less clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
