while it's nice having a sinking line, if you're just using it for shad and on a tight budget, i'd go for one of the alternatives... lots of different names for it, kevin mentioned the sinking poly leaders, also heard it called a sink tip or mini-head... a little awkward casting but not terrible and you can usually pick them up in 2 or 3 packs for $10. It'll be hard getting down deep for the american's but you should still be able to catch a few and more than enough depth for the hickories. If you haven't done shad fishing and just want to try it out, and don't have any other use for a sink tip, i'd hold off on dropping the $50-120/line and save for it for one of the other money pits in this sport.
at some point i'd be curious to hear from people who have used one of the multi-tip line setups...??? seem a little clunky and have heard mixed reviews but more and more companies seem to be making them and certainly would be useful certain situations.

Thanks for all the information everyone. I think my best option here is to just dig in and invest in a high quality sinking line. Another question here, and sorry I'm not trying to be that annoying new guy haha, but can you launch your own boat at Fletcher's? I've perused their website but I can't seem to find anything.
