That's how I've been rigging mine. Belly down.
Here while back there was thread on how to put a Bobby Garland baby shad on a hook. IE belly up or flat back up. Found this pic of a baby shad on a hook in an ad in a fishing mag!
Be as smart as you can, but it is always better to be wise than to be smart.
That's how I've been rigging mine. Belly down.
I've hooked mine both ways and can't tell the difference but it might just be to each his own.

Start out like that, after a few fish & it starts sliding off the hook, I'll turn it over & go through the belly. Catch just as many that way.
Crappie fishing is my lighthouse of sanity in an insane world,
It keeps me from crashing on the rocky shores of everyday life.
Crappie.com is my beacon of light!
