You can fish them weightless (fly-lined) or you can fish them either on a dropper rig or a carolina rig.

For a dropper rig, I like to hook the bait through the lips so it looks natural and alive.

Fly-lined or carolina rig, hook the shad through the back right in front of the dorsal fin.
Use 1-2oz of lead for your dropper, 1oz for your carolina.
You'll want to use a quality circle hook in the 1/0 range, or a super sharp octopus style hook.
