I went to Petco and picked up a bag of seasalt (powder), hydrometer and Aqua plus. 2 weeks ago, I threw in some dying bloodworms into the concotion and they lived for 2 weeks before I used them.

People that have saltwater aquariums have been dipping out the water for years. I've had one for a longtime, it will keep all of your saltwater baits alive.....Tightlines


How to make Salt Water:

What you will need:
Hydrometer (Specific Gravity Meter)
Instant Ocean Salt (Synthetic Sea Salt)

You can purchase the hydrometer and Ocean Salt at a pet store.
Use water that you buy unless you test your water first,
purify your water if needed.

Hydrometer should read between 1.022 - 1.024 (specific gravity)
After you have added your salt you can place your
water in the refrigerator. Temp 40-42 degrees.

Always test your water on just a few worms and wait awhile.
Change your water in your worms every 12-24 hours.

Bloodworms will live 2 to 3 weeks and
Sandworms will live 1 to 2 weeks.
