I have been using this exact brine for over 50 years. It works!

Thanks for such a great video explaining how to brine

After brining can you vacuum seal it and use as needed? Thanks

I would have liked to have seen the final product. Compared to an anchovy not brined.

There is a good chance that you wouldn't be able to see a difference on camera. Where the brined bait really excels is durability while trolling and the brining extends the life of the bait for days as long as it is kept on ice.

will this work for surf perch?

[@Robert-wz7jw]

when you say you should "keep it on ice", do you mean that you should keep it frozen? if it's frozen, why would it matter how long you keep it? if you don't mean that it should be frozen, how do you keep it on ice without it freezing? do you actually mean that it should be refrigerated?

Not frozen, refrigerator temperature..
