Shad are one of the most popular types of forage in many of the lakes
throughout the country. There are many types of shad and some are
even big enough to catch, but the shad we are talking about on this
page are the types of shad that are bait fish for the game fish.
Threadfin shad, like the one in the picture above, and gizzard shad are
two of the more popular types of shad used as forage. Shad are
typically stocked in lakes so game fish will have a healthy population of
bait fish to snack on. Most game fish will eat shad, but they especially
loved by largemoutt bass and striped bass. There are many
crankbaits on the market that look like a shad and they are very
effective baits for a variety of species.
