Shad Equip't.....
Hey HC,..... You're gonna get a lot of advice from all sides on this one . Actually, almost any line will work for Shad at one point or another.... I would try the deep sinking head, first (during high water), if no luck, switch to another type/sink rate Line.... .
Flies should look just like a Shad Dart. Simple is good . Basic colors are Chartruese, Orange, Hot Pink, Pink, etc..... Hook sizes range from #8 to #4 and a good Shad hook is Eagle Claw, model 1197 or 1197N. If you know where to get some, the best hook (....in my humble opinion) was Mustad, model 3908 or 3908C..... (I believe that model has been discontinued ).
