best type of minnows

[matt1991]

First and foremost .... Shad (Gizzard, Threadfin, Hickory) & even Alewifes & Blueback Herring (depending on your location)

Baitshop "minnows" ... Fathead, Bluntnose, Creek Chub, Shiners, Rosy Red Fathead

But, I personally think the Silverside minnows are better than baitshop minnows, just much harder to catch

i have a cast net 6 foot but its so hard to catch small shad small enough to catch crappie smallest i get are atleast 3 inches
