I really, really like those picks. They are thick, but soft. Kinda cool.

I switch between the bottom 3, currently using the 1mm

I tried the Jellifish picks, but didn't really like them. I personally didn't like the sound they created (it's supposed to be able to produce different "effects", but the main one I guess is a chorus type effect). AND if you prefer coated strings it will rip the coating to shreds and scratch the top of your guitar (or the pickguard) all up, because the picks are like little metal brushes. Also, if you have a heavy picking hand, the little "tines" of the pick will start to bristle out, like a ruined paint brush or tooth brush.

They weren't for me, but you may find something about them that appeals to you.

I doubt it. The way I pick, sounds like I'd bristle'em out in days. Thanks for the input.

I dont know if I'm posting in the correct place but I'm just wondering what pick(s) all of you guys use regularly.

I personally like Dunlop Jazz-IIIs, nice and thick

Dunlop nylon 0.88mm

I just bought some red Jazz IIIs to try out, so we'll see how it goes.

yeah, the tortex are very sturdy picks...i used to favor the .73mm yellows
I still have a yellow .73 Fender Delrin pick that i've had for years, it's got a similar feel to the tortex and it's still in pretty good shape.
