Cant you get secret 7 at Bass Pro? I suggest hog wild dip bait, its cheap an if you keep it cool it holds to the hook very well, I have caught around 13 2lb cats in about 3 hours with it!!! Nice catch
My problem is I fish in the channel and when wind is blowing 10mph - there is a current that eventually washes the bait off the hook - or dip tube holder or cotton balls - even when I wrap the bait in cheese cloth - as soon as a small fish hits it - starts 'washing away' I've had best luck with magic bait - flattened and put Secret-7 in center then on hook i.e. use magic bait to hold on Secret-7 - lately it's easier to wrap Danny King around hook i.e. it's stringy properties lets me wrap it.
One hint: you may have to use cheese cloth to keep it on the hook - the water is so hot here - I lose a lot of bait unless I use 'spring treble hooks'
I also keep a small can of flour in boat to help 'handle' the 'sticky' bait. then I sometimes wrap the Secret-7 with cheese cloth (or add a layer of flour after I put it on the hook)
