TheBaitPhotographer Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hey there guys, I've just placed an order with Del-Mart for a stick bait mold and was wondering if anyone could help me out with a decent "senko-type recipe", i.e. how much salt, softener, hardener, and any other info you think would be helpful. I, much like many others would like something close to the GY senko, but if theres a better recipe out there I'd love to try it out. I'll be pouring the 5 1/4 (don't know if that matters). Thanks in advance! -Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baj435 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Del posted this responce on thread 8148 it may help. There are a few other recipes on that thread as well. you may want to check it out. Del said, depending on how much salt you add you will have to add softener as the salt will make teh bait harder. usually pour a few then wait 10-12 hours and check the softness. on mf supersoft if you add 1/2 salt to 1 cup plastic you will need to add just a tad over a 1/8 of a cup to match the senko. on the regular mf plastic with same salt and plastic ratio you will need to add about a 1/3 cup of softener. My ratio for calhoun plastic is 1 cup plastic 1/2 cup salt and 1/4 cup softener and I get the same sink ratios as the senkos lurecraft 536 you use about 1/8 cup of softener to 1.2 cup salt and 1 cup plastic. with the above ratios you will get the same feel and the same sink rate or pretty damn close. if you grind your salt up then you need to go by weight not a measuring cup. differnt salts have different sizes. These are all based off table salt size, you will get the hang of it shortly though. one thing dont go by weight as the finished product is a tad different in bulk then the senko and will sink a little slower if you use the same weight as a senko. now you need to stir it ever 2 cavities and stir it well.

Delw Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Del posted this responce on thread 8148 it may help. lurecraft 536 you use about 1/8 cup of softener to 1.2 cup salt and 1 cup plastic. Bad typo on my part to That should read 1/2 cup salt not 1.2cup salt. Red or alsworms can you edit that , as I am sure someone will misread my typo and be knocking fish out on the bottom of the lake, if they get it to pour.
