What banjo capo do you recommend?

After trying nearly every banjo capo out there, the Paige capo stands out as a favorite for its convenience and design. It can stay on the banjo behind the nut, making it harder to lose and always ready to use.

Having used just about every banjo capo on the market, my current favorite is the Paige Capo.

It’s designed so that you can keep it on the banjo when not in use (just behind the nut). Capos have a terrible habit of vanishing, and so this design greatly reduces the chances of that happening.
