Another thing I’ve seen is in an old, behind the scenes with Quo video, Rick Parfitt’s guitar tech using a hammer and bradawl to put 4 impressions in his plectrums.
I also have problem with tortex picks slipping when playing rhythm guitar even though my hands don’t sweat.
I will definitely look into your suggestions.
@ tekbow - I've been playing for a good few years however, I don't do a lot in the way of picking, mainly strumming.
2. Drill holes in your plectrums.
Solved the sweating issue a long time ago..allegedly
Also sticky is not the same thing as grippy.
Worth a shot though given it’s inexpensive.
Probably just trying different plectrums and finding ones with a textured surface.
When I was gigging I'd grip plectrums so hard they would become slightly concave. So after a while they had a right and wrong way around. But that helped quite a lot with stopping slipping and my worn picks were better for playing.

Don't put it too low down or it will catch on the strings.
Gorilla snot does work but takes 15 minutes or so until it become fully effective. Then its a bugger to get off.
Not tried drilling holes, but will. That looks like a good idea.
Have tried many different varieties with grips but none work that well.
@ FunkyGibbon - have PM'd you.

Thank you for all your suggestions and I will be looking into them as well.
