Anyone ever used salted bait. Its easy to make and lasts forever without freezing. I'm thinking about shrimp and maybe even chicken breast or chicken livers cured in canning salt with garlic powder and koolaide. It makes the bait kind of rubbery so it doesnt come off the hook easily, but puts out a lot of flavor scent.

No help here but try it and let us know!

I never used salt But i have used garlic powered and brown sugar while making blood bait.

The fish with high blood pressure aren’t going to eat it

Yeah, ok.

Good friend of ours catches chubs up here when he can, before ice, and salts them and freezes them I believe.
He uses them for ice fishing , we'll find out more as he is taking us out some time this winter.
This is for mainly walleye but yellow perch and a few catfish also through the ice.

Used brown sugar and salt in blood baits also back in Texas, for catfishing.

Ive used salted shrimp in the spring and summer and caught fish, not big ones but eating size.

I have used salt plain salt and garlic on chicken livers to cure them and it works.

I mix pool salt and chicken in a sealed container to catch the eaters.

Tried that Dark Water Premium bait carp. Trash.

We have used jackrabbit saturated in garlic salt and anise oil with great success when my aunt and uncle lived in west Texas and we fished Lake Balmorhea . We caught more channel cat than I ever could have imagined .
