Downeaster2010 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I have been searching the web for a source of flour salt, and find it is mostly sold in 50lb bags. I want to get about a 5 lb pkg for adding salt to my rubber worm, and craws. Anybody got a reasonable source. I can't find anything local. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted March 17, 2013 Super User Posted March 17, 2013 Nope I don't but I can suggest an alternative. Get a cheap coffee grinder, use Kosher salt and grind it into a powder. Unless you make thousands of baits you wouldn't need even 5# in several years. Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted March 17, 2013 Super User Posted March 17, 2013 Put your normal salt in a blender. POOF.....flowered salt! Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Bears sells very good powdered salt in a gallon jug. As said you canpowder salt yourself. Powdered salt if used in large quantities (like for Senkos) will cloud the bait and make it opaque (not see through) You can also use Mortons Pickling salt from walmart but that is still too course for me.

Downeaster2010 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 I am going to the natural food store in my area to see if they carry it. I believe a lb will last me many years. I don't care if it clouds the rubber, I have caught hundreds of bass on lures prior to the clear ones. I may wind up using the coffee grinder or blender. I have an old blender in the cellar, that is just sitting doing nothing. I may have to incorporate it into my tackle making. I mainly want the flour salt to add to my senko worms, and craws. Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 If doing sticks, try the Caney/do-it HD sinking additive instead of salt. It is a thick liquid that makes the baits softer and much more durable. Quote
Downeaster2010 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 All good information. I just found that Caney site myself, and like his products.. I think I will grind up some Kosher salt as recommended. I have a coffee grinder that has been sitting around doing nothing. I will give it a try. I am presently making sticks, but want to make more craws. Quote
