Or blood powder for the cheaper option (just as effective for that purpose)

Between 5 and 10% egg albumin and/or WPC should be fine. Otherwise as he says....hookbaits only

You can make hardened hookbaits by adding 10% Egg albumin.
Do this only on the hookbaits.
Soft baits are more attractive in my mind the rock solid ones.

Just done a session with the BM1 that was slower than the previous one shall we say and one thing I have noticed is that they go too soft for my liking as hookbaits and invariably I was winding in an empty rig in the morning. Currently I am boiling for 90 seconds then drying for 24. I now realise the situation may have been made worse because I had then put them in an airdry bag when I got to he lake. From what I have read on here it appears that the drier the bait the quicker it takes on water and goes soft quicker?? Thoughts??
Also from my searching on here it looks like you can add Egg Albumin or Whey Protein Concentrate to toughen them up a bit.
What would you recommend for inclusion rates in the BM1 mix to get the desired effect? Also, would it be best to make up separate batches of hookbaits for the purpose or make the whole mix tougher, if you see what I mean?

Just made up the first batch and I ended up using 13 eggs. Don't know if the eggs were just small but it was a very stiff mix.

2.5 % is not too much on that mix Limey.
But remember you can get usefull vits from products such as brewers yeast and kelp meal/powder

If you want the optimal dosage of MSG for a nutritional bait it would be zero% but in almost every bait I have made I use a heaped teaspoon in 1kg.

Doesn´t 2.5% Selenavite E = 25g/kg(5 teaspoons) sound abit too much, compared to only 10g/kg of Cyprivit  What´s the optimal dosage of MSG in a kilo mix ... 10-20g

Nice baits there. My first attempts at bait making (admittedly over 20 years ago) looked nothing like that. Misshapen sticky balls would be more accurate!
Must get round to knocking some of this up. Did you follow Smurf's exact recipe?

Personally I leave them for a good 12 hours if not a little longer. Some do more some do less but 'overnight' would be a good starting point
