Which dip bait are you using?

I have good luck with these Dips & Doughs:
- Catfish Charlie® Extra-Sticky Dip Bait
- Catfish Charlie® Catfish Dough Bait
- Bill Dance Advantage Dough Bait Nuggets

I have not had luck with:
- Fishbites Yeh Monn!® Freshwater Catfish Bait: Though I have not been persistent with them...

Terminal tackle:
This best thing I have found for the sticky dips & doughs are:
- Team Catfish® FURRY THaNG Treble Hooks: I may switch to the non-treble versions; The loopy stuff really holds allot and holds it well during casting. Get many uses out of each.
- Bill Dance Advantage Spring Treble Hooks: Better the cheap trebles with springs the springs are fixed and durable.

I have not had good luck with dip worms.
