Will pickling salt work the same as sodium benzoate ?

pickling salt will preserve meats. I'm not sure about the amount needed, because I haven't tried it.

Will animals actually eat meat that's been pickled with this salt?

A animal miss's the trap and gets the bait only to find it's not fit to eat won't fool with it again, why I like to use something they will eat and come back for more should I miss them the first time around.

LOL J, country ham is preserved with salt and you probably like that since you're a good old country boy. My dog loves it, but I have to be careful about how much of it he eats.

Thanks Paul. Iwas just wondering cause we have tons of this stuff left from canning veggies. I'll try it and let you know what happens.


God Bless

Pickling salt will work just as good as sodium benzoate but one must double the amount, about two cups per gallon of base. I've tested baits and lures preserved both ways and I could never see one iota of difference in how animals reacted to it. They will eat it too, never had one animal leave it because it tasted too salty. As for deer, rabbits, porcupines, etc, they will come to sodium benzoate just as quickly as salt because sodium benzoate is a salt product and probably smells the same to a salt desiring animal. Asa

Salt at a set, IMO, regardless as to whether it is in the bait or used as antifreeze, will cause you nothing but problems, starting with lots and lots of deer fires.

Other people have different opinions, but you will not find salt at any set of mine.

Sure it would Max. Just like Asa said mite have to double the dose. But pickling salt seems cheaper to me.

Its not about price, the reason plain pickling salt is used for canning pickles is that it keeps the pickles firm. When iodized salt is used the pickles become mushy. Same with chunk baits, fish, etc. Also, when making canine baits the iodine in the salt might possibly compromise the baits value. Pickling salt is cheap and can be found at any grocery store. Asa
