Hey, we all make mistakes, as long as we learn from them is what counts. When I first started seeing those packages of shad in the sporting goods stores, I called the DNR and ask them if they were legal to use, their reply was that, yes they were legal as long as you have the package with you. I can't speak for all the different packages of shad that might be on the market but the ones I bought were Gizzard shad and they were not worth using because as TD said they have so much chemicals in them, the fish won't touch them. You would be better off using chubs or redside shinners that those packages of shad you are talking about.
