Anyone tried it, for bait, not food haha. I reckon it has potential as a flood water bait
Would be very interested in the results of a serious trial. Blood very effective in mince fishing for chub. Tried dried blood as groundbait for tench ingredient 20yrs ago inconclusive. Also remember reading a book where chub were eating the washout from a slaughter house many many years back, and could be caught on congealed blood paste.Never tried it personally but it ticks the right boxes for a good barbel bait.
very meaty, high fat content and the consistency in uncooked form would be great for a buried hook. I’m sure they’d rattle it down if it was under their noses.

On a lighter note might work on Ribble but may you struggle in Yorkshire.
That’s the one I was thinking of, well off the mark with the river though!He who dares...

Record fish caught with leftovers
The long held belief that Norfolk's rich River Wensum would produce a British record barbel has become wonderful reality for a Norfolk angler fishing a prolific stretch of the river not far from his home.www.derehamtimes.co.uk
Easy for me to remember as the wife and I stayed in his accommodation and we chatted about the fame of being on the front page of the angling mags (think he was Angling Times, I was Anglers Mail). Although I was 18 with a snotty bream and he had a 20lb+ barbel. I'd swap in an instantThat’s the one I was thinking of, well off the mark with the river though!
