You will have to run some trial batches to get the dosis right but shrimp meal will do the trick without losing the hydrolysates

Am I right in thinking casseinates are highly soluble too?

How quickly do they perish in a mix? The bait I use I find best 2 to 3 days out the freezer, most milk based baits I've used are best when they're barely defrosted, is that something to consider or am I just overthinking

Shrimp should fit the overall theme of the bait well


The bait usually has a heavy dose of hydrolysate, is there a more neutral alternative as the liquid does sink like a brick

You can get a shrimp meal which Is light as it contains a lot of shell. Just don’t bog it down with liquids

Sodium and calcium calcinate are low density and will help with what you are trying to achieve. You will probably want to use a combination as the ingredients have other properties that might affect your bait.

Hi guys, I'm looking to tweak a boilie mix to give me a slow sinking food bait, a method I've been playing with seems to work best with baits that will shift about a fair bit.

I know krill is light but a few other options would be good
