The bait buffs would probably suggest that you have too much soluble stuff in that one.
Would definitely work though......

30% plus solubles, could poentially end up with a sticky, or soft mix, or both.
If you really want the robin red in there it will up the cost of the finished bait.
I'd just simply reduce the LT94 by 5%.
35% LT94 Fishmeal
20% CLO
20% Lamlac
20% Semolina
5% Robin Red

To include pdf I'd reduce the lamlac personally. Otherwise you are adding something soluble whilst taking away a % of an insoluble ingredient. I can see some benefit in making it softer and more digestible in cold water but you would have to see if it rolls or not. Another option is just to gun it out and then boil it and then it doesn't matter if it's soft then. Chop the sausages up and it's even more soluble as you have an unsealed end so to speak.

Yes, totally agree. My point was that it's cheap as chips compared to hydro and just as effective, to the point that I don't bother with hydros anymore.

Thanks mate. I do really like Robin Red in a fishmeal bait. My main reason for making my own bait is the satisfaction of catching something (hopefully) on it. Cost is a secondary issue for me, although a great benefit.
I'm planning on two baits for the next year - this one and a sweeter birdseed one for colder weather.

This is now my regular mix for over 18 months now. I use it al year round and it our performs the trop base mix. The difference has been day and night. Cheaper as well.

I used a similar mix back in the early eighties to great success , the semo soya flour mix , wasn't the original richworth 50/50 mix based on this.?
Look at the fish that Winkworth and Dierdritch caught on this basic mix.

The original Richworth 50/50 mix was 50% carbohydrate and 50% protein.

And the protein came mainly from pruteen a single cell protein, which is not available anymore.
