Here are the feeders I own: tube feeder, mini-lamp post feeder, dog waterer-bird feeder, milk carton feeder, milk jug feeder, and suet feeder. All except the suet have Sunflower and wild bird seed mix. They seem to attact Tufted Titmice and Chipping Sparrows. The suet feeder attracts Carolina Chickadees and Carolina Wrens. The Blue Jays seem to avoid them, making me wonder why. But a Northern Cardinal just showed up.

Might be a bit harder for the Blue Jays to get a purchase on the feeders you have. I will tell you that the Blue Jays eat the Black Oiled Sunflower Seeds or BOSS that I have in my feeders and they positively love peanuts as do the woodpeckers.
 
Maybe you should try a platform or tray feeder. I bet you could get some Blue Jay then. Try that with some of the seeds that KC wa telling you. Good luck
