you know i have done a lot of research because i'm really into bait making and am just getting started into it. in one article i read it said you should always gut whatever you make into bait with some exceptions to some animals. you should gut the animals because it will rot your product your trying to make. just telling you've what i've read i hope it helps.

i hope it dosent make a differnce, all the fish i ground up last week were guts and all. on a side note, i saved guts from all the fish ive caught and cleaned to eat this summer, their all in jiffy jars in the freezer, i planed on useing "fish guts" instead of chunks just to offer something different, is there any reason not to? i thought they would be extra juicy/slimy/smelly/tasty but im new to bait makeing and just trying everything
not to be off topic of fish, but if any bait makeing pros could tell me, should i freeze mice whole and use one at a time for bait, or grindem up into paste?

I save all my bluegill heads and use them for bait. I think anytime you leave the guts in any animal, it will spoil faster. This would probably be OK for canine trapping, but in my experience, rotten bait doesn't work well for mink or coon.

I gut Everything, Seems if you don't gut the fish you catch alot more grinners. So everything gets gutted until I get 10$ a peace for them.
One day I will figure this game out.
