Dave,
Most anything will work when the shad are thick. Looks like Jeff's fly is a go to Ashad pattern with the perfect hook. You may want to find chartreuse or green to work into your dart body. My experience has been the flashabou like tail is a must.

Dave, I haven't fished anything similar, but like you said, can't hurt to try! My go-to pattern is stolen from Rob Snowhite, and doesn't require any chenille at all. It's simply silver flash for the tail, bright pink thread for the body, clear "gimp" like material over the thread to give it some profile, and dumbell eyes. I tied up a bunch with a chartreuse body as well, but really haven't used them much since pink tends to be so productive.--On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 12:21 PM, Dave Marcus <dhmarcus@gmail.com> wrote:
I've been starting to get excited about the shad run and have been tying some darts with the materials I have on hand. I don't have any chartreuse, pink, or orange chenille so I went with as much flash as I could get. These are tied on a bunch of 1/32 oz jig head hooks I got on ebay. The tail is tinsel I got from a craft shop and hte body is just wrapped flashibou. On some of them I have this orange flashy stuff I tied in as a collar. They don't look like the one i've seen others use and the only way I'll find out if they work is if I try them but I wondered if anyone has tied anything simliar and had success? If so I'll keep batching them out, otherwise I may go out an buy some of the bright flashy chenille I see on most shad darts...--
Thanks,
David
