If you're removing eggs from your liquid mix just add around 10g of whole egg powder ( or a little less of egg white powder ) for each egg removed. This will compensate for any reduction in binding / gelling. I now actually only use powdered egg now as it enables me to incorporate various wet foods into my mix. Mussels, prawns, fish, liver etc. The world's your oyster ( they might be a bit pricey though ! )

So just to be clear the only company selling the True Original mix which includes Krill (one of THE best ingredients to put in a bait ) and all the ingredients at stated the stated amounts is Quality Baits.

Another option would be the get the origional recipe and put together ones self.

A bit more work but at least you know whats in it.

The reason QualityBaits first started making the Trop was because BAF could not make the base mix ,with out the resultant boilies all being rather poor pop-ups ,but they were all floaters ,Krill is not mentioned in BAF's list of ingredients , and hasn't been for sometime.
Been told that all purchasers of the Trop are being given a sample pack of an extremely simple to make Pop-Up mix all you need to add is a colour and a flavour takes a couple of minutes to mix and can be boiled ,steamed or even Microwaved.

I was given a few kilo of the QB stuff when it was launched.
Had a fidh in the first 20 minutes so very confident with it.

I only switched over from BAF as i have 2 x 10 kg sacks of base mix that made floaters.

Apparently caused by using an alternative krill.

AA Baits have their own variant(s) now, not absolutely identical - Squid rather than Krill and few different spices/enhancers.

So the base mix put together by the members of the HMBB is not available from BAF or AA baits they have both changed the recipe, Both are out of stock for sale to their customers of some of the straight ingredients needed to make the bait.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
