Hi Guys,
I'm wondering what the difference is between the various forms of salt and its effects on the bait. There is a large price difference between various salts. For example, 10kg bags of Kosher salt are about $40 where I live. Today I saw Canadian Tire selling pool salt (very fine consistency) at $8 for 20kg bags. I see some are using rock salts as well. If its not used for consumption, would that pool salt serve the purpose of drying out the bait? I hope so as its FAR more cost effective...
Last season, I had lots of luck with both Pautzke Fire Brine in blue and green and in the the Pro-cure Brine N Brite Complete - Chartreuse. I'm just looking to see if something more cost effective would still be as productive.
I've seen some online talking about using Mrs. Stewarts Bluing Agent to get the blue color into the bait but can't find that anywhere in Canada. From my experience for what its worth, the blue brined bait was the ticket. Do you have any other creative ways to get the blue into the bait while brining it?
Thanks in advance for your advice,
Curtis
