- Having salt in plastic can be good and bad! When choosing plastic baits it is very important to understand how salt affects the action and movement of the bait. The question always is does Salt help you catch more fish? I will explain when to use and not to use!
This is exactly why I like to make my own plastics. I can control every aspect from salt content to color to firmness if the plastic. Plus there’s a certain pride that comes with building a rod, shooting done plastics and then catching fish with them.
Good tips DD. I believe that salt’s sole purpose in soft plastics is for a faster fall rate. I shoot a lot of my own baits and studied them in my pool as well.
Yes it's fun researching baits and making them
Best bass fishing channel I’ve found on TH-cam for beginners and old “salty” dogs. Keep up the great work, I hope you’re healing well.
I always tie on one salt, and one non salt when I'm using them. I never understood why I'd catch them on one or the other, and rarely on both in the same areas. Thanks! I keep learning!
Each has its purpose
What’s up Dave! Enjoyed the content as always. And yes, people think the TRD always floats. Not the case. Sometimes you have toStretch it just a little bit to get some of the salt out. Change the color a little bit, but you live with it. God bless!
LOVE these informational videos DD, keep em coming! Learned so much from you on variety of topics over last 12 months. TY
This video is awesome! Now I have to test all the sink rates and actions of my plastics again. This could take hours and hours of testing (a.k.a fishing) :) love it!
Btw David you are killing it with the double outro moves!
Yes you got alot of homework!
ive never noticed that on zoom! this video is awesome you broke this down!
Bam!! Doctorate Level!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Your videos always teach me something. Glad you are doing these
Thank you Brian!
Great stuff David. I have never been a believer in the whole idea that fish hold a salted bait any longer than non salted. Always nice to her that what I am doing is on the right track. Thanks again and I know that like the majority of your subs that we truly appreciate you sharing the knowledge, it makes a difference.
We agree on that therory!
Dudley is the Do-Right angler of 2020!
Out-thinking joe average (Me) every time and I respect that. Thanks
Thanks for the great insight Dave... you've confirmed my suspicions on salted vs unsalted plastics... and thanks for telling us your way of using these plastics under different conditions
Your welcome Phil!
Big D thanks for sharing the details. I seem to get more bites on scent enhanced versions than not, but go through three times as many, very soft. The Yum brand isn’t bad. I like the high float style idea. Big D take care, God Bless, peace
As a bait maker I always believe that salt is to make a bait sink when fished weightless.
Bait makers use it for advertising purposes because of the old rumor that it mekes fish hold on longer and the baits become MUCH weaker, and you buy more.
I make an exact copy of a senko. Same size, weight, sink rate, action, softness, etc.. I make these for personal use and when fished Wacky with an o-ring usually catch 20++ bas on one bait. Big companies can do this too but would be bad for resales.
You always give me a lot to think about
People always want give aways from you guys. Well you do a giveaway every episode. The gift of knowledge and that sir is a hell of a lot better than any shirt rod reel or anything else you could ever get! #GOAT
Thank you UEO for the kind words!
Great information David, thanks for the insight. I've always heard the salt was to sell more baits bc the fisherman think the fish hold on longer so they buy em then have to buy more often this selling more baits. I have noticed the weight and sink rate is faster on salted baits though so that makes sense too. As far as scent I believe it does matter getting bites but agree its questionable if they hold on longer but I will improve my odds with the 3s's all I can (sight,scent, smell).
And I always thought salt was to let the fish know it’s real. Like salt in the preys blood. Learned something. Thanks
Thanks for the zoom info, I just thought I knew about salt content .
One more great video! You talk about things I have never seen talked about before. Great insight. Thanks for the Video!
Thank you for the support Exbassguide
Thank you!! This ol Man learned more STUFF!!! Appreciate You!
Glad I could help Rodney!
yea i never thought of it. thank you ! awsome
Good stuff man. I have heard that studies have shown that bass are more likely to eat a crawfish quicker that is not in a defense position, which I would think it would not be good to have arms standing up. Who knows.
So many questions for you because I appreciate how sincere and candid you are.
Scents...Yes no... garlic, mint, shad, crawdas, fish sticks, sprays, dips, gel , when? Why?
Also, besides depth of water as you mentioned, but how do you determine what fall rate to present to the bass with your soft plastics? When do you like a fast fall as opposed to a slow sink? What role does water temp, time of year, vegetation play with your thinking process to figure things out?
Thx in advance
I am know gulp and max powerbait works well!
@@DavidDudley yeah man those inshore salt fish eat and will not let go of that Gulp but man that stuff stinks and dont ever spill it in your truck. Uuugghh
Great stuff dude! You got one on me with the rage craws. I got away from the gene larew super salt craws years ago cause of the claws sinking.
Haven't heard gene salt craw in a long time!
David Dudley Outdoors man the fish we used to catch with those! Both as a jig trailer and Texas rigging the magnum version
Smart information Double D and much needed.I love the paca craws and they are multipurpose, thanks for all the Perfection Lures you’ve created,you know I’ve been a believer for years, and it’s true if you put a heavy piece a plastic on it, it’s gonna lose its ability to work as designed.👏👏👏👏👏
I like paca craws
Jacob wheeler proved using plastics as trailers increased the time they held the lure, I believe it was a buzz bait, at a bass pro show thing
great advice, something ive not put alot of thought into but it makes alot of sense!
Good video. I realize now that I was focusing way too much on just the color of my plastics...
Been there!
Good one your the master. You talk about Something that the weekend Fisher man Wouldn't know Or not thinking about.
I try really hard to.give you something different
Great video,salt is a huge factor in my weightless fluke and trickworm presentation,glad you shared your knowledge on this topic,tight lines my friend
Thank you Scott
I agree ..I pour lures and salt has its place but it also makes the bait weaker with the new plastic like dead on plastic will have as faster a fall rate with out the salt Anyway in the floating and the non floating applications I’m with you ..the salt has nothing to do with fish hanging on to the lure yes it cast better but my lures last longer than a one fish bite so more bang for the buck with the same result sure I pour both just not a big fan of salt thank you for bringing that up cheers ...40 years on Sam and T bend enjoy your vid good luck in you tournaments 👍
What a informative video. I learned so much from it. Thank you for covering this topic.
Thank you Bill for the kind words! There's more on the channel
Really enjoy your videos!! I respect how passionate u r on being real.. always great content! !
Thank you Lucas!
I used to put garlic and vanilla in my worms don't know if it did any good always like the info you give
Great job in explaining.....im new to your videos..very educational
thank you for the insight.
Great information. I never gave much thought to salt content. I’ll use this info tomorrow.
Good luck John!
David Dudley Outdoors, thanks. I need a good fishing trip. The last couple have been rained out.
good explanations
Great one Dudley. Keep them a coming buddy.
Yep need to pay more attention!
I'm not stopping
Great video David. Considering we are transitioning into fall I’d love to see a video on topwater baits. Specifically the plopper vs the choppo and your thoughts on buzzbaits.
I like the choppo better for that style!
I like the choppo because it has a hard tail I have the whopper popper has a soft tail that when you store in tackle box after a year or two the plastic tail gets messed up and can even shrink in hot weather the choppo is solid hard plastic back tail so is always in working order after storage
I prefer the choppo as well. It rolls much less than the plopper and the gurgle sound is more consistent at different retrieval speeds. Just my two cents
That is why I inject all of my soft plastics. I control the slat or supper floater bubbles. A softer bait is more important to me 1st better hook ups and the fish seam to hold onto softer plastics.
great teaching moment! thanks!
Why do some companies put salt on outside of baits like tubes. I don't usually like that.
VERY IN DEPTH THATS WHY YOUR A PRO GREAT STUFF. THANKS DAVID
Thank you Bo
Let's talk spinnerbaits, weight, color, skirt length, blades, blade combinations, hook size, trailer hooks...
I am getting worms that are bent or twisted up. Should I trash them?
I'm glad you're doing these videos. I think you get better every time you do. Sometimes I feel like you're spewing words of wisdom like a fire hose. So I'm going to ask you break down your thoughts in sections, and concentrate on what you want us to learn on that section. Does this make sense? I prey this is constructive criticism and not viewed as an attack. I certainly couldn't do better. You've forgotten more than I know about fishing. 😆
Not a attack at all! There is alot going on in my head!
Thanks for info.
Really great info as always brother!
Thank you scott
Thanks for the info. Keep up the videos big dog very helpful.
Thanks for the tips 😊
Awesome info.
From what I understand Yamamoto uses MF plastisol, popcorn salt for weight, and NO SAND. Think of salt in a plastic like rocks in cement; adds weight but does not adhere to cement/plastic as well as straight cement/plastic would. In the case of a Senko the salt is absolutely necessary for a weightless rigged Senko to have the proper fall (shape and plastisol dura-meter are also factors). Salt is also one of the main reasons Senko's rip up so easy. As far as the taste of salt being beneficial, I agree with Dudley; there's no way to scientifically verify that claim. IMO salt in lures like Senko's rigged weightless is absolutely necessary for presentation purposes but durability is not going to be good. Any time you use weights like slip sinkers, jig heads, and even rigs like the Carolina rig and the drop shot, baits without salt have a more natural/floating action and they will be more durable.
Very Useful David Dudley thank you 🙂
Thank you Kyle!
No Problem David 🙂
Always good advice!❤
Thank you Mommy
Thanks Dave!
When I’m not fishing I’m thinking about fishing , Now my head is about to explode.LOL
Net bait is really making a move from a bargain box bait to a force in the market
Good stuff MR FLW DAVID Dudley as usual always learning from your videos thanks a bunch
Thanks brother!
Nice video, i always prefer a slower sinking stick worm vs senko. Now you have me wondering why you like the faster sinking worm. Is it because you are in deeper water? Thanks
Great tips David .Noticed same thing about the Strike King Products too I only Texas rig them with a bullet weight and slow roll them enough too make them work.
Buckeye lures Spot Remover Jig Head stands up .
Hey David, I noticed you throw mostly Bass Pro Shops stik O's when you're throwing a senko/wacky wormin. Is that Because it is a fast sinker or because youve seen that it has the best action of all stick worms from your swimming pool testing? thanks
It over... i will now refer to Yamamoto as Yapamoto
Great stuff Dudley. What’s your thoughts on dip scents and dyes? Like chartreuse or orange dipping your baits with garlic or craw oil stuff like that. Maybe two different questions lol.
Firm believer of dyes oils not such
Got the original trivk worms for the floating worm technique amd the super salty trick worms for bottom presentations. It bugs me so much to have store mix both on a peg.....
Very good observation Nick!
Great info!!
I never thought of salt as more than anything else other than a weight thing. I do know yamamoto doesn't use salt
Another great video thank you sir for sharing cheers🍻🍻🎣🎣
Cheers Ajw
I got into this last few years. So I throw a weighted wacky head a lot. I seem to get bit more with a yum dinger on the weighted head. I fish it anywhere from 1-6 feet. Yum is cheap and works for me. I used to throw nothing but Yamamoto senkos on it but my partner was out fishing me. Changed to Yum and got way more bites. But for weightless I only throw Yamamoto. Question, if I’m fishing deep docks for suspended fish, like 20-30 ft deep. And I’m skipping docks, am I better with more salt senko or cheaper senko weighted?
I never throw weighted heads when I wacky. I know it works but I don't
First comment. Keep it up david.
Also i always wondered about companys adding scents to there product and if they work and how long do they last.
5-5 on the outro. Is it just me or was the sound a little off? Good topic.
You need a fish tank to do demo's in
You should do A googan bait over view
I have never tried any goggan baits !
Your the man keep up the good work 😁
Thank you Brian
my baits stand up i make my baits do whatever i want it to do.Store bought baits cant make money doing all that i do to my own just cant do it with mold
great job David~! High Five ^5
Thank you Dave!
@@DavidDudley trust me David, I'm already planning to use every word you said Brother~! (ASAP)
More hacks & tips big dog?!
Learn a lot 🤷♂️
used you shakey head over the weekend best i have used yet
Thank you James!
Strike King Coffee Tube YUP......
Hey this is Henry i like to see u fish a lake with a lot of bait.there a lot of bait here in the lake i fish in Alabama and i just can't get a bit. when it's midday and hot what can I do?
Try throwing a kietch underpin!
I hope you win the cup next year.
There will be no more cups!
What will there be
@@DavidDudley so you're going to B.A.S.S. or mlf?
Why do you call it gary yapamoto? Never heard anyone just randomly ad a p.
Dude TH-cam is screwing up my notifications again, will give you some more views on other vids tonight.
I wish i .had a answer for you!
Go check your Instagram messages I sent you one. I had a issue ordering a hat.
Gary Yappamoto? LOL .
haha little turd. honestly never thought about the salt baits like this. Slow sinking baits dont work where I fish but I can see what your saying.. thanks for the tips.
They all have there purpose
Xcite Baits makes great NO salt baits... check them out & you won’t regret it!
Never tried them Keith
You really ramble on without finishing one thought or point before jumping to another. More thought needs to be put into your presentation for listener clarity.
