Favorite shad bodies?

Can someone recomend the better super large 9"+ shad bodies and the best ways to rig them.
I like the looks of the big Fin-S fish and corresponding 7/0 jig hooks. Any others?

How I rig them depends on the shape of the jighead.

With ball, bullet or smiling bill heads, I rig the whole FinS, with the "mouth" flush against the base of the jig. Making sure the body's straight so it doesn't corkscrew.

With the triangular "shad" heads, I cut the head of the rubber so the body is flush with the head.

Haven't tied the 9" Stroms yet, but when I do, the first thing I'll do is cut off the second trailer hook.
