I been using a Fender Heavy tear drop and picking off the shoulder, but now I use a Dawg. Works fine on my Eastman Two-Point 805D. My strings are J74's

What about the picks made from Half Dollars are they any good? Question

I have changed nylon dunlops for handmade 3mm fiberglass Wegen picks, a little bit expensive, but they works... good chops, high volume and, at last, thick comfortable picks...
The m100 and m150 adviced for mandos do not work properly (for my way to play mandolin), however the gipsy jazz picks (3mm and 5mm thick), and bluegrass guitar picks are really good

On the banjo, I was annoyed by the different sound that the Dunlap metal finger picks made vs. the plastic thumb pick. I eventually changed to all metal picks and am happier with the sound. I could have gone with all plastic but couldn't find any decent finger picks that would stay put.

I've been reading more and more about Blue Chip Picks and would be interesting in trying out a set. http://www.blueChipPick.net/

I use a BlueChip TPR-45. A super pick.
