Hickory Shad are my favorite bait for sure.
A few things I do to keep them lively:
Don't touch them until you want to use them as bait. Remove from darts with pliers only. Get them in the tank ASAP.
Get them as much oxygen in the tank as possible. Aerated rock from a pet store and an air compressor. Total cost $25.
Just some ideas i guess.
