Shad is one of the Best if not the BEST crappie minnow to fish with when you can catch them dead of alive !!!! never seen a crappie that won't eat one when it had a chance !!!!!
This is the type of info I pay the big bucks for!
I have never fished with them mostly to them dying instantly when caught. How do you keep them alive? When I say die on me, almost Instantly once netted.
