I haven't had good luck mixing flock colors. I tried a few different ways and they always bled into each other. I do know that putting down one color and letting it dry then trying to put another color next to it did not work for me. I hope you can do it. I think you are going to have to experiment and let us know how you make out. Good luck and have fun. Stan

Don't know what the material Lamiglas is using, sorry. If it were me I'd flock it, lots of colors to choose from and tough. Good luck.

It's a cool looking butt cap. I couldn't use one like that, one good hookset and my ribs would be bleeding.

I could be wrong, but as far as I know the SHXi blanks never came to market. I think they had too many problems with breakage. Shikari had them listed on their website forever but you could never buy one. Good luck. Stan

Try doing a search for "DEE THOMAS (“DT”) Guides". They are on his website, on the products page. Also tackle tour did an interview with him, it's all on the net. Dee is a bonafide legend, so I will give him some credit on the design. Don't know the quality of the guides or anything other than what I read. If it were me, I'd build him what he wants. That way you can t
