[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 473052, member: 3149"] The often forgotten Salt timing isn't just for salty soils. It is sometimes the magic bullet to getting a big mono to work in bad ground. On big targets it will match Normal for depth, but handles mineralised ground better with a slight loss of sensitivity to small targets. Salt Coarse loses a fair bit of sensitivity, so my theory is people try it on a few bits of around 3-5 grams, and never bother to use it. Salt Gold that only exists in the 5000 handles salty ground better, and doesn't lose so much sensitivity. I seem to recall a good video (maybe by JP??) demonstrating it in some mineralised dirt, but I can't find it. [/QUOTE]
