This is a topic that many of my fishing buddies have asked about when they want me to make them a few packs of baits. I answer them the same way every time Most makers all know and understand that salt is good for modifying the sink rate and helping some baits cast farther when weightless (trick worm for example). But do y'all (after years of fishing your own baits) still believes the flim- flam that salt causes bass to hold onto the bait longer? Do I? Not a single bit. Why? Because every one of my saltless baits gets swallowed when I let them have it too long. So why is this believed even though salt is not a natural flavor to a bass? Because big bait makers needed a way to cheapen their baits. Needed a filler. They can make nearly 2x the baits with the same amount plastic and they needed it to be justified in the fisherman's eyes. With the way fishermen are superstitious it helps baits sell when there's a makeshift "edge" to the bait, right? P.S.- my saltless baits last for a very long time. The record so far is 32 bass on one fluke style bait.
