Hickory shad love anything that's glittery.

So if you can get some light jigheads (1/8 oz tops!) with some rubber bodies that have glitter in them, you should be set. Bright colors also help (yellow, chartreuse) but in clear water they've been known to eat dark colors too (root beer). Very small tins like kastmasters for snapper blues are great too.

Use 10-15 lb. test fluoro leader for best results.

p.s. hickory shad and roe are delicious breaded and fried. The meat is just a little bony, though. Fabulous striper bait too.
