wallyc14 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 4 oz plastic to 1 oz salt to make a senko recipe ( sinking) IMO I Mix my salt before I heat it . As far as scent and worm oil I add at the time of bagging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudd Butt Baits Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I add scent to bag after, salt once it is hot or it clumps up, I add 1 teaspoon to 2 cups, no oil if using scent. I put the scent in the bag before the worms and work it around the bag for better coating. Crazy how long it holds the scent while fishing. Don't throw old worms into the old bin to be reheated as some of the scents get bad after they are mixed together in the new worm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelhains Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 What type of salt do you guys use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 For translucent baits I use Kosher salt, because it is coarse and won't make the baits cloudy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelhains Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 So I could just go to the grocery store and use the salt they sell there? It doest have to be anything specially formulated for soft plastic baits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Pickling salt from Walmart is very good. Are you adding salt for taste or sink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
