I like Jazz iii picks. What do you use?

I’m a jazz iii fan. I have been using Dunlop Tortex 1.5 for years but have been experimenting with thinner versions. May see if other brands offer the same size as jazz iii and what different materials are out there. What all pick brands and materials do you like regardless of what size you use? I’m liking this 1.14 at the moment

I used to use pointless picks, but I think they stopped making them:

I still have a few around, but switched to...

Red Jazz IIIs exclusively. Before I misplaced it, I'd occasionally use a black Jazz III a friend gave me to switch things up.
 
Blue Tortex for like 25+ years. But I’ve been considering switching it up lately to something with a pointier tip. I’ve been practicing a lot more tremolo picking and I’m wondering if it’d be any easier with a different pick or if I’m just bad at it still so it’a gonna suck no matter what pick I use.
 
I mostly use white fangs and black fang, but i got one these picks and liked it alot, i will buy a pack next time i see them.

this is the only pick I'm comfortable with. Been using them for at least 20 years. Dunlap makes one that is very similar.

Played tortex jazz iii for about 10 years, moved to gravity gold sunrise mini 2.5mm 2 years ago, I love those. I recently went on a weird plectrum craze and ended up buying an Apollo 5 mm PEEK from Cory at purple plectrum. I’m not sure if it’s the material or it’s the size, but it’s easily the best pic I’ve ever played.

The green Tortex Jazz III's for a few years and more recently, have gravitated over to the Tortex Flex green .88 Jazz III XL's. Can still use either one though without trouble.
