about 350 to 450 depending on what addtives you add and if you remelt your scraps

on worms it could be as high as 1800 but it depends alot on the worm as some are smaller than others and take less plastic

On senkos I get 15 per 4 ounces of plastic. I add 2 ounces of salt and 1 oz. of softener. So the total volume is about 7 oz., but only 4 oz of it is Plastic.

So that would be 480 senkos

Re: How many Senkos or Worms will a gallon make?

I just poured 1 gal. plus 2 cups ( 18 cups ) today, with 6 cups of salt.( not flowered )
I got 463 5" worms from a 2 piece mold, this was not remelting the tops. so that is 25.7222222 per cup
Each bait weighed roughly 10.72 grams
