IF the shad gizzards have been kept frozen, they will be exellent bait for channel cats. However, although easier than chicken liver to hold onto the hook, you will have the same casting issues and the pantyhose will come in handy. Best bait you can get will be either fresh or frozen cut shad. If you're in Tennessee, there should be lots of places that sell frozen cut shad. If not, go into business for yourself.
