Skimpy great to see you again for me I DONT like salt its bad for my heath lol but no it makes the bait tear up way too easy I prefer no salt or sinking agent I use a 1/32 or 1/8 weight with a bobber stoper or a nail weight thanks for the vid
The best weight additive for Senko’s when I made them was glass bead shot ( glass grit blasting media ) it is heavier than salt and doesn’t make bait dull ! Bait is tougher and they have very clear brilliant color !
The thing with yamamotos is that they have amazing action at the cost of durability as you mentioned. Anything heavily salt impregnated is gonna have absolutely trash durability. But it straight catches fish! I personally have not had any issues with bass holding on longer or not with salted or non salted baits. The salt may or may not help them hold on to it even longer. But I've never had a bass spit out a non salted bait before I could set the hook. I've throw non salted baits, gone to check my phone and then watched my line swim off 20 feet before setting the hook lol.
I haven't made one in a long time. But I think the best thing I found was popcorn salt. Regular salt wanted to settle on one side of the bait as it was cooling down and when I ground it up in the coffee grinder to make it suspend better in the plastic it made it really cloudy. Popcorn salt was pretty good because it supspened pretty good and it was clearer then the powdered up regular salt. Then I guess if you wanted a really clear senko you can use the glass beads but like guys said they wanted that salt flavor so the bass would hold on longer. Plus the glass beads scratched my injector like crazy so I only did it a few times. You know way more then me but that is what I remember when I was making them.
Yeah I remember glass beads was a big thing. Also sand. Def ruins injector though. That's why that sinking additive was made. I still love the salt. Popcorn salt is a must. Table salt is iodized so not good. Popcorn salt is non iodized. The thing I like about the additive is it makes it less cloudy and more durable without affecting the sink rate. But confidence has always been with salt. Not fully confidence the bass hold on to salt longer ???? I put other scent in the baits that I believe work better than salt.
I'm not making plastics yet, but maybe next year. Honestly, I never have a senko rigged and I couldn't tell you why. Maybe I just don't want to be that guy that just throws a senko all the time, and stay as far away from it as possible. 😆 I probably should!🤦♂️
I prefer popcorn salt. Cheap, and easy to get. I prefer salt because it gives off a scent in the water like blood. (Blood has salt in it) so I feel the fish tend to hold/bite it longer. Either way it’s so cheap to make a bunch of Senko worms that the durability isn’t a big deal. Just re melt and shoot the bait again, On another note what’s your thoughts on the Klutter Worm.
@@ThatGuySkimpy Skimpy I’d like to see you not only make the different plastics for bass, but show they ways on how you rig it and techniques in how to fish it. You ever use a tail spinner

Lol. Yeah sounds like alot do the same

Yeah def looks great using that. It can mess up your injector
I almost never use salt or an additive. I may try it again. Thanks for the video.
Lol yeah I know alot that don't.

Ahhahaha. I agree. Not saying I always have one rigged up but they are def a must have in the arsenal

Yeah that makes sense. I have made the Klutter worm but I haven't used it yet

I’ve heard some use sand?
Yeah I have also. I heard it ruins your injectors after awhile
I don’t use either of them
💪🏽💪🏽
I make them with salt ...
