Salt on Jigs??? Good or Bad

[hogpaw]

I appreciate all the info. I definitely welcome anymore input.

I have to agree with sunfish on this one. Scent does make a big difference. And salt added to the baits will help make the fish think that they have the real thing and it will keep them hanging onto the bait a while longer. Those few extra seconds the bait stays in the fish's mouth will help you get the hook set vs watching the fish spit the bait out.

Salted jigs are necessary for ice fishing.

yes salt will definately ruin your jig heads. Never put salted jigs in the same box or area as the heads.

I couldn't agree more. I bought some bodies from bass pro last year. When they arrived with the bags full of salt, I spent several minutes rinsing them well in a strainer. I know from experience, they ruined several heads/hooks. Try it, you'll see. Without salt, that special color (no longer available) hooked and landed fish I will never ruin my credibility by telling you about. Plastic bodies with salt impregnated are physically much,much weaker than without. WHAT A LOUSY GIMMICK!!!
