The only disagreement here is coming from someone that only targets hickory shad up to 17 inches. Many fly anglers follow that path and have a great time, but take Bob's advice--he knows how to find American shad later in the run. These fish are over 20 inches, pull much harder, hit deep and stay deep in strong current, and refuse to give up at the boat. I put all roe American shad on the spool and like having a good drag. The 8 wt will allow you to use the most aggressive sinking lines when needed for Americans, but 7wt is also fine and a good all-round choice.
