Thread: How to salt your own bait

Hey guys
Who has some knowledge on making your own salted baits?
Never tried doing it before so up for the challenge of it.
I was reading a magazine in a Vtnz waiting room and came across an article about
making your own salted baits rather than having a freezer full off bait.
It never said what type of salt to use. Any idea?
Any tips and do's or don't's from your own experiences/experiments?

Non iodized salt is what I was always told to use .

Just rolled the baits in a big tub of salt and put on old baking trays to dry . Add more salt as needed .

You can do it with fish for yourself. Had salt cod stew in portugal seaside fishing village there was fresh fish everywhere, we went to a little resturant for lunch. Specialty was baclahan? Fish stew, interesting texture but i preferred the octopus.

Yeah good for tuatua's and pipis too. Bucket full of pipis etc, big bag of rock salt and mix up

Did 3 ice cream containers of mullet, salt, mullet, salt till full. After a few weeks they were pretty high so put in parents freezer. House got burgled and along with the TVs etc they cleaned out the freezer

You want some holes in the bottom for liquid to drain out of the salt.
