Too many chemicals in my opinion. Novaqua is your best bet in your holding tank at 1oz per 60 gallons. Salt should be added at 1 cup per 10 gallons. The fish protector is a better chemical for the hauling or catching process when the shad are more likely to knock their scales off. I'm not too sure about the baitsaver as I've never used it but is probably not necessary in the holding tank either. Try to keep ammonia levels down in the water by doing more frequent water changes and keeping your filter clean to avoid other funguses that can occur like tail rot and ammonia based funguses.
