sinking senkos

Hello,
Senkos sink mainly due to salt and/or sand content. The type of plastic will make a slight difference but not enough to omitt the salt and/or sand. I and most others, use only salt in my senkos. It gets them to sink just the way I want and it acts as an attractant. Try 1/3 cup fine ground salt to 1/2 cup plastic. That should get you close and you can experiment on your own to get your personal preferences. Practice!!!
Luke
