I have been vacuum packing and freezing a few gizzards and I was wondering if anyone has every caught any big ones on frozen shad? If you had the choice, would you choose frozen gizzards or fresh threadfins? I'm just wondering if this is an exercise in futility?

I would always use fresh cut gizzard shad for blues given a choice, but have caught plenty of blues on jugs up to 27lbs on frozen threads when nothing elese was avaiable.

They'll work as long as they're not too old. We caught a good amount the other day at EM. Lots of 7-12" gizzards.

My biggest rod and reel fish on frozen threads was a 28lb. 5 oz. blue. I've caught a bunch of smaller ones.

In the last two weeks, we've caught a 29, 32, and 36 on frozen gizzard but I would prefer fresh threads over frozen.
