Parts of the mix are absolutely fine but it looks like it may struggle on the binder side of it.

There's a few course Ingrediants and just may find it struggles. May roll absolute perfect and I'm only suggesting it may need a better binder including. Like repacing some Lamlac with Whey.

My advice would be to do a 'on paper' trail mix like you have.
But on the practical side with rolling it, I would divide the 1 kilo mix, and each ingredient amount by 7.
Just enough for a medium or large 1 egg mix with a small amount of liquid.
A nice set of accurate digital scales, that go in grams, will pay for it self in the long run.
From personal experience this will save you a lot on ingredient wastage in the experimental stage, and so forth until you get the balance right for your type of finished bait. Then work up to a 2 egg mix, 4 egg mix 6 egg mix, etc.
I would say that 50% content of fishmeal and krill is on the high side, compared to most mainstream baits available. But also the oily ingredients, like LT94, Krill, Lamlac, Robin red can cause rolling problems in high total % amounts.
Some CLO's do not roll anywhere near as well as the original... despite marketing hype.
I would start off aiming for 60-70% binders and work down from there.
If it doesn't roll nicely, you aren't going to love rolling it.
Happy experimenting

300grams of that mix are soluble. Are you that's not gonna be a sticky pig to roll and fall apart after five minutes. Also there's a danger that mix might be a bit on the light side. I don't think it will actually float but krill, lamlac, cassien, predigested FM and whey are all light ingredients.

I only see it as 20% as acid casien isn't soluble although I'm sure LT94 has a level of solubility

I probably should have put soluble/semi-soluble.

When the weather warms up and I can get in my bait shed I will try rolling a test batch

id be worried about that floating.
10g of crushed oyster shell or knock the krill/milks back.

Im going to change it slightly and wouldn't add oyster shell as I can't see the value of adding it

Personally I'd ditch the Robin red, very overrated imo

the value in using it is that you can keep your recipe the same and it wont float....
