I would rig a 2 or 3/0 hook, Gamakatsu Octapus for example, through the nostrils of the shad. I would use a balloon as a cork so it is easy to adjust the depth. Blow the balloon up about the size of a baseball and tie it off, use the same knot again around the line to attach it. I would start off just letting the shad swim free with no weight. Give him about 15 feet of lead to the balloon, more if it is deeper where you will be fishing. If the water is more than 20 feet deep where you will be fishing, try a 2 oz barrel swivel weight tied above the shad about 3 feet. use the balloon as a cork and put the shad about 20 feet deep. make sure the button is mashed or you might loose a rod, good luck.
