What size/shape BC pick do you feel is best "for you" while playing your mandolin?

my fave: TAD 80

The TAD shape. Big triangle, almost symmetrical. I use either a CT55 or a Wegen TF120, both the same size and shape.

Main pick is TAD 60. Sometimes I want a "whippier" pick and use a 40 but prefer a smaller size, either TP or TD. I might try out a Thile model next time I'm feeling rich.

TPR 60 'cause it's the only one I have. When I can afford another one, I'll chime in on how it compares.

TAD-1R 60, first BC. Probably would order the same, if I ever needed a back-up or (groan) replacement.

I use the CT55 and Matt made it with one rounded corner, so it's like a CT 55-1R. I love it!

I like my TAD40 right now. I do have a TAD501R, but I use that on my guitar mostly.

TAD60 for most bluegrass.
TAD50 for my more responsive mando, usually with less bluegrass material.

I got a CT55 a year ago and it's still my favorite and I still haven't lost it. Bought a real tortoise shell pick last summer thinking I had bought the ultimate pick, but I still like my Blue Chip better.
