Pete,
I was the same as you for many many years. All sluggos and no shads. I think I discounted shads as something I used as a greenhorn and nothing more.
The past two seasons I have put them back in the rotation with increasing frequency. I have had good success with them particularly when fishing around peanut schools. I can say with certainty that they have saved me from taking a skunk several times over the past few seasons.
Generally, I am packing the 5 inch tsunami shad. Seems pretty versatile.
