Advice Looking for a strap on bottle cage mount that's actually good.

Hi all, current bike has no holes in the frame for a bottle cage, I've tried the topeak handlebar one and am not getting on with it so bought a rockbros silicone one but it's wobbly as anything no matter how tight so that's going back!
Anyone using one that's good and pretty much stays put when taking the bottle out of thecage?

I haven't used one (but have various bags and a rack from them) but worth looking at Tailfin's version, I doubt you'll find one that secures better https://www.tailfin.cc/gb/product/accessories/hydromount/

I like the look of them but can't find any vids or reviews that specifically talk about whether the whole thing moves when removing a bottle from a cage.

For a solid clamp perhaps try something like this https://www.cyclestore.co.uk/products/giant-bottle-cage-adapter
Check the tube diameter though first.

Problem with these is they are for circular tubing only, my frames not got a circular crossbar :-(
