Still using (big pun) the stainless steel Fender medium but splitting the time with my orange and yellow starpicks, want to try the red and green lol.

I used Fender mediums for quite a while but I found that playing alot of downstroke rythym picking tended to send the pick flying more often then I cared for so I graduated to thin Dunlops.
Which actually allow me to strum harder and with the raised lettering I can hang onto them easier it also gives my picking more sensitivity for the softer stuff.
Anything else feels like playing a fence with a quarter now.

Hard to say what gauge they are, pretty thin I'd say.

I have a friend who owns a "pick punch" so he can make picks out of things like credit cards or other plastic material. I bought a couple plastic binders and we stamped out about 100 picks from them. Than I bought a large punch and put a hole in the middle of each one. After playing bass fingerstyle for 15+ years I had trouble learning to hold a pick and the hole in the middle is very helpful.

Just my own twist on things.
