Will they still be soft enough to get a needle through though, I'm not having to deal with Crays etc?

Any thoughts on the free amino acids available in the mix?

Whey gel for me everytime where hard hookers needed, drives out moisture and gives a harder finished bait throughout than standard wpc80.

Or blood powder for the cheaper option (just as effective for that purpose)

Between 5 and 10% egg albumin and/or WPC should be fine. Otherwise as he says....hookbaits only

You can make hardened hookbaits by adding 10% Egg albumin.
Do this only on the hookbaits.
Soft baits are more attractive in my mind the rock solid ones.

Just done a session with the BM1 that was slower than the previous one shall we say and one thing I have noticed is that they go too soft for my liking as hookbaits and invariably I was winding in an empty rig in the morning. Currently I am boiling for 90 seconds then drying for 24. I now realise the situation may have been made worse because I had then put them in an airdry bag when I got to he lake. From what I have read on here it appears that the drier the bait the quicker it takes on water and goes soft quicker?? Thoughts??
Also from my searching on here it looks like you can add Egg Albumin or Whey Protein Concentrate to toughen them up a bit.
What would you recommend for inclusion rates in the BM1 mix to get the desired effect? Also, would it be best to make up separate batches of hookbaits for the purpose or make the whole mix tougher, if you see what I mean?
