    Yea cuz I know we have both species of shad in Okatibbee. The gizzard shad get pretty big but the threadfin are the ones the crappie mostly feed on.

    The color "Sexy Shad" is based on Threadfin Shad, the yellow streak on the side of that bait is what makes it so good. Looks just like one, a lot of people call Threadfins "Yellowtails" along the Tn River. Whether people realize it or not, one of the reasons Chartreuse colors or adding Spike-It dye to plastics works so well is because the Threadfins have that yellow tint to them.
    It's all over but the fryin'......
