These picks are amazing. If you get one I can almost guarantee you wont want to use anything else ever again and they are definitely worth the money. Keep in mind how much you use your thumb when you play banjo. I know they are expensive but only if you lose it. I used to be careless with thumb picks when I used cheap ones but it's funny how $40.00 makes you careful, I know I am with mine.
Note on sizes.
The Blue Chip Thumb Picks are adjustable and stay tight without feeling tight. If you presently use a Large or Extra Large plastic thumbpick, get the Large. If you use a medium get a medium, Large might be ok though because its adjustable. So if you are on the big side of a Medium you might consider getting the Large.
Small are good for women with petite fingers or children. Medium would fit an average size women's thumb.
Try a Blue Chip Thumb Pick and you if don't like it better than what you are using send it back for a full refund right away.
Thanks, Ross Nickerson

I purchased this pick just over a year ago. Very comfortable and much better tone. These are quality picks so you can imagine my shock when the plastic piece broke off. I contacted Banjoteacher and Ross responded immediately. He said this rarely happens and I may have received a defective one. He told me that it would be replaced at no charge because the company stands behind their product 100%. I am excited to receive the replacement so I once again will be able to enjoy playing my banjo with this wonderful pick. Excellent customer service..............Thank you Ross!
For years I’ve used Dunlop metal thumb picks. Yeah, I know. Scratchy and harsh. But, those flexible plastic ones just never worked for me. I was constantly pushing it back on every few minutes. I’ve even dropped one, on stage. In the dark. With my only spare in the case, behind the riser. Mid-set. Not good. That was when I went all metal and decided to endure the tone issues. So, $40 for a thumb pick you say? Well. It’s probably worth at least that compared to the alternatives. Stays put, doesn’t get snagged, sounds natural. Hoping it lasts a long time.
I had been using a simple common brand thumb pick from the time I started playing banjo. I decided to give this pick a try after reading so many great reviews. The difference was night and day. It fits snug and doesn't shift while your playing. I was having some trouble with my old thumb pick tapping the drum when I played the 5th string, but that immediately went away when I switched to the jd crow pick. The sound improvement was also great. It really brought out and cleared up the 4th string bass for me. It's expensive for a pick, but it's absolutely worth it.
I was Very hesitant to buy a forty dollar banjo thumb pick, but so glade I gave in, it works perfectly, very smooth, it doesn’t move around, so I don’t have to keep pushing in in position, and it is so comfortable, I could wear it all day, the money that I wasted on cheep picks , I could have paid for it, Thanks.
