Hunter04 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 i have recently gotten into making senkos. i have been turning my salt into a powder in the coffee grinder but when i inject the mold there are clumps of salt in the worms. what should i do?

wallyc14 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 My personal take on it is easy. I mix my salt with my plastic before I heat. Since doing this 7 years ago no more clumps. I’m sure someone will have a different answer but this works for me if I grind salt. Now I just buy worm salt way easier but I still mix the same way . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 just more mixing before you fill the injector,, The salt will settle to the bottom of your pyrex so mix well , then fill injector ASAP . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rook Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Fine Grit glass bead media. Works much better than salt, doesn't clump or cloud the color of the plastic. It also adds durability to the bait. It can be a little rough on the injector however. Just throwing another option out there.

wallyc14 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yep! Works good but it’s hell on the injector. If you go that route I would highly recommend only using one injector for it. I have a 4 oz injector from bears is the one I use and it’s scared up pretty good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Be sure you get virgin blasting beads, so the glass isn't broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
