Anybody want to talk salt/suger etc???

I'm pretty set in my ways as far as adding salt to my baits. I started using regualr ground up Morton table salt way back when and then moved on to flour and popcorn salts. I currently use Ozark super salt which is a flour type salt used in toothpaste as an abrasive. It isn't bad but it isn't perfect.

In a pinch I'll go to the supermarket and use Salt Sense which is a low sodium salt, same grain as regualr salt but it performs much better than regualr salt when I pour. I've toyed with the idea of grinding clear rock salt, using feed or water purifier salt. Anybody find anything worth mentioning? I think I'm really going to start looking for a salt that is clear rather than white.

I am happy with my diamond table salt. I buy it by the case from cargill as I cannot find a store that carries it. Saint.

I have been using salt from Del and have been quite happy with it. But at work I found we use a salt by Cargil called dehydrated salt. It is a fine powder. You could never grind salt so fine in a blender at home. Yet it does not seem to be dusty like when I grind salt occasionally. However; I have been avoiding grinding my salt. The baits seem much weaker with powdered salt than with grains of salt. I still want to try the Cargil dehy. Powdered salt suspends alot easier and saves a pile of stirring while pouring baits. I will get back to everyone on my results.

Diamond's fine salt is the best I've used. It stays suspended longer and has more translucence than floured salt. I use it with .015 clear flakes (sugar). Best yet is the price at 79 cents for a canister.

Ditto on the Diamond!! Hard to beat the performance and the price!!

Is the fine salt available in the supermarkets or is it a special order thing? And I don't know why I spelled regular incorrectly 3x in my first post. lol

Earthworm, you should stop showing off with two finger typing and stick to one like I do!

I have had good luck with the Diamond Crystal. It is available in all my local grocery stores for under a buck. Cheapest is 69 cents.

Here is a picture of the container. It has a nice pour spout.

Well I don't know if it was the humidty or what but the dehydrated salt clumped real bad when I tried it. It is used in brine for patatoes and comes in 50lb. bags. Overall I will stay with dels salt for now. Salt is pretty much salt. I will keep using what works.

That's the stuff! Almost every supermarket sells it in NY. I keep it in a damp basement where my workshop is and not once had a problem. Much cheaper than popcorn salt (which is the same size) and less opaque than floured salt.

I use the Dimaond as well, good stuff, I think it's .69 a can here too.

Hell the popcorn salt I use is about 1.50 a pound. I have used almost every type of salt out there and it is by far the best salt I have used yet. I get from a local organic store, they sell it in 1.5 lb bags. i use a small tupperware container and only use about 3lbs at one time in the container i still have sealed bags of it from months ago in the garage with no problems and it's well over 100 degrees out there during the day. The difference in texture from the diamond to the popcorn salt is night and day, not sure why but it is

Diamond goes on sale by me, 50 cents. I load up when its on sale.
