So the last time I pursued Shad in anger (15 yrs ago), I was using a 7wt and throwing a type 4 head with Amnesia.

I'm wondering what folks are using these days.

I have a 6wt and a 7wt with Rio Outbound Shorts in type 3 and type 6. Anybody using those or something similar?

I also have a 4wt Switch rod that I really want to catch some Shad on but I don't think it can handle a sinking tip that's heavy enough for this situation...

Hoping to hear suggestions
Thanks
