All of the following is Hutchinson gear.Its a simple one, but as instant a bait as I have ever used.

16oz Hit 'n' Run

Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine the liquids and flavours with the eggs in a seperate container. Add the dry mix to the egg mix and combine. Knead to form a stiff paste. Boil for 90 seconds (14mm)

The liver boilie mix

This is one of my own mixtures, the result of a lot of field testing. It has proved VERY effective

*10 oz Semolina
*2 oz Soya flour
*4 oz Liver (liquidised)
*1 tbl sp Garlic powder (not salt)
*3 tbl sp Clear honey
*4-6 lge Eggs
*Your own flavour,colour or enhancer

Method:

Liquidise the liver in an electric blender. Gently fold in the eggs, garlic powder and honey. You can add colouring, flavouring or enhancers at this point if required. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl. Mix the dry ingredients in a seperate bowl and add to the liver mixture a little at a time until you have a stiff paste. Add more egg or semolina to get the right consistancy. Roll the mix into balls and boil for 2-6 minutes (the longer they are boiled, the harder the baits will be).

Lay the baits out on old towels or paper and dry for a least 6 hrs.

8 oz Fishmeal (ground traout pellet)
8 oz Semolina
5 Medium eggs

Method:

Very simple recipe but it does work!
Mix the fishmeal and semolina together then slowly add the beaten eggs. (you may not need all of the egg mixture). Mix until you have made a firm paste. Knead for 5-10 minutes until the paste has a smooth texture then roll into your prefered bait size. Boil for 2-3 minutes depending on size. Lay the boilies on a tea towel and leave to dry for at least 4-6 hours. Keep boilies in the freezer until a few hours before fishing.
