To reuse the salt dry in your oven set on the warming setting, works great

[@aquadoc4080]

I've never tried soaking them in water. Just the opposite, we usually pat the dry and place them on a salt bed with a salt cover. . We do this outside in the cool spring or fall temps. We repeat the salting process until we get the desired effects. Once, my salted brain son (I love him-LOL) did not remove a minnow from the salt. So, it got stored with salt for about two months. It was hard as a rock and can go in a camping pack or tackle box, long term. We reconstituted it while fishing, I think he's on to something-LOL

You should leave any bait you use in it's natural scent and not soak in any liquid which will remove that scent. I only lay them in a bed of regular salt at 10 or more per layer for several weeks and the scent is still their to attract the species you are fishing for.

[@roodaltaylor2188]

Can you reused the salt

[@charlesc2281]

Yes you can. You just need to dry it after.

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

How long will they last?

[@tuscaroralodge]

I keep them in the freezer until I use them, so I don't really know. I've kept them in the fridge for a few days between fishing and they seem to hold up just fine.

I buy pool salt in 50# bags at Walmart. There is no iodine and you can save some money on your salt.🖕I store the salt in a 5 Gal. bucket with a lid.

[@lanchen2049]

Can you Just straight up, put the minnow into the salt instead of soaking it in the salt brine
