GOB,
Cut shad, fresh or frozen, work well. I think live bait is the best, goldfish, bluegill, chubs or shiners. For channel cat and blue cat, there is some dip bait that works pretty well. I cant remember the name of it, but I think its made in Texas. Ill try and find out. Basically, you take one of those plastic "catfish worms" with the holes and treble hook in it and dip it in this stuff. I hate it but have a buddy that swears by it.

As for the hooks, I have never switched around any. Sorry....
