How does popcorn salt compare to the salt Del-mart sells, size wise?

[whitley]

popcorn is finer than table salt but not a powder. I will try popcorn salt tonight and see how it works.

Whitley, please post your findings. Thanks.

I routinely use popcorn salt in my "salted" baits and would not switch back to floured salt. My colors are far more true and the popcorn salt stays in suspension as well as floured but way better than table salt.

I also use the "flakes" from Senkosam with my salt for a far softer and easier poured bait. The reviews have been great from out in the field and have had several side-by-side "in the boat" knockouts of original senkos. The latest was a 15 to 1 catch ratio of my sticks vs GY senkos...

Additionally, popcorn salt takes no further flouring or other manipulation, just open the pack and go...

The popcorn salt works awesome it makes the baits look much better! I will try the flakes. How much do you put in with your salt. For sticks I use this recipe 1 cup plastic, 1/2 cup popcorn salt and 1 tbs softner. This makes a killer bait.

Has anyone ever tried adding a bit of garlic salt to their regular salt for added scent?

Bassn1: I tried to add some garlic salt to my plastic once. It did have a pretty strong smell, but to me the garlic smelled burnt. I added the garlic right before I did my fianl 30 second heat. Maybe if you wait to add the garlic last it may work. That is on my agenda of things to try. Let me know if it works. Saint.

I tried the Garlic Salt one time, and that was it. Turned the entire
cup of Watermelon Green into Dark Brown. I have been using either popcorn salt or LC's Salt floured. Haven't found any where local yet that has the large quantities of popcorn salt tried sam's and costco's here but no go.

Hi guys,

I have been using Del's ultra fine salt... it seems like table salt to me but I like the bigger chunks compared to floured or otherwise. Anyone use it? Like it? Your thoughts? The shipping is crazy though; if the stuff is just plain old salt (which it very well might be)., I'd love to know.

Unless he is supplying a different salt than he was a few months ago, it is much finer than regular ol' table salt. Popcorn salt is finer if you can find it in bulk, but Del's salt works real well.
