saint308 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I am ready to start trying some salt in my stick baits. I pour 2 oz. of plastic and get 5 baits. How much salt do you suggest I use for 2 oz. of plastic. I have read the best way to add salt is before you start heating the plastic. Is this still the general concensus? Thanks. Saint.

texasbass1 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Those that pour sticks have recommended a 50/50 mix of salt to plastic. Add it to the hot plastic before you pour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Try here Saint... http://www.tackleunderground.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=5647 this topic has been covered a BUNCH of times so do a good search....There are varying opinions on it!!! I'm in South GA so I tend to add less salt to let the stick sink slower but when I head up to Northern WI in a couple weeks I'll be loaded down with heavy salt sticks!!!! I also use SenkoSam's flakes in my sticks...Here is just one comment I've gotten recently from a customer.."I?ve also started throwing your ghost sticks and I must say they are by far the softest bait of their kind. I?ve tried some other brands (Tiki, Yamamoto, Berkley,etc.) do nothing worm?s and they are not nearly as soft and flexible as yours. Great stuff!" CS..Kansas State U Bass Fishing Team... The flakes really kick these baits up a notch!!! Mine are definitely softer than Senkos and a bit more durable. Plus they are easy to pour with the flakes added!!! Colors really stay true also. Just more food for thought!!! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Hi Jim, I took a look at Senko Sams site but didn't see any mention of his salt. Maybe he will read this post and post some info. Pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsac Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Pop, Frank doesn't have salt. He has clear flakes. A lot of the guys are substituting some salt with the flakes. It's not as heavy, but it adds weight and helps the colors stay true, not wash out from the salt. There are quite a few threads about them.
