Does anyone know how many 5"1/4 worms you can make from a quart of plastic? A gallon? Im using Dels stick mold.

about 350-500 per gallon
it all depends on how much salt and softener you add. for example if you use the 1 cup plastic 1/2 cup salt 1/4 cup softener meathod you will get more then if you use super soft plastic no softener and 1/4 cup of salt.

Del,
what way is cheaper ( of the 2 ways you posted )
to make the most worms?

there really is no cheaper way, its all by volume. I guess if you use lots of salt you could make it cheaper.
1 gal of plastic with 1 quart of softener mixed with salt would have more volume than 1 gal of super soft plastic mixed with salt.

the only way that I know of to make baits cheaper is to buy plastic in bigger quanities

get a postal scale there around 30 bucks . the plastic weighs the same raw in the jug as it does in a finished bait. just put a bait on the scale and do the math.if a worm weighs .20 of the ounce you know you will get 5 in a ounce. theres a 128 ounce in a gallon you can figure out your yield plus if you need 25 worms you can make up the exact amount of plastic you need with no leftover .
