Interested to know what you are referring to when you mention not great for his way of angling but good for yours?

Didn't Andy Little do very well using just Calcium Casinate and Semolina?

Which is another variation of 50/50 mix, protein and binder.

As per his writing, Initially when he started on Savay he went in with a protein bait.
But as he was fishing a lot, petrol, etc, and using so much bait ( for back then ) he dropped all the expensive protein ingredients and ended up using just semolina, eggs, a maple flavour and a simple sugar sweetener.

Isn't calcium caseinate a particularly light milk protein? Cant imagine the inclusion rate would be more than about 10% without the baits getting light...?

Light as in colour or buoyancy? Sodium Caseinate was the floater option I think 🤔.

Buoyancy I thought, could be wrong.
Edit - taken from the AA Baits website:
Calcium Caseinate is one of the highest quality milk proteins, with a crude protein content of 96% this soluble lactic casein should not be overlooked as even being used at moderate levels this product provides valuable essential amino acids. Care should be taken as to the inclusion levels as this product is very light and can produce buoyant baits.

That's practically word for word as Sodium C. So, don't use more than 10% of either.
Off to check out Casein or probably just buy JB or Optibaits hookbait versions.

It appears my memory was wrong. Maybe is was another Milk Protein that he selected.
But as has also been said, I remember he dropped the ingredient eventually and continued with a 100% semo bait. Food for thought eh? lol!

He likes to use quite a bit of bait and fishes further out so is unable to know what could be eating these expensive baits, much of it could be wasted.
I fish pretty much exclusively with 1 rod in the edges so am able to have a good idea as to what is eating the bait which helps me understand when to adjust my baiting.
No point wasting this type of expensive bait IMO, i want the carp to be getting the vast majority.
