I found an old garden variety large Rainbow thumbpick over at Felix James' house, cut it down with a dremel, heated and reshaped it and it's JUST the perfect size and fit. A trifle thinner and longer the Newman Red, and longer and stronger than the Blue Hercs. Just the ticket.
Thanks for the responses. Sometimes the best option is right there in front of us. I'd been looking for a longer stronger blade for years. Now I'm gonna rummage through a couple pick jars for some similar ones.
