Most people opt for a camo Mossberg. Dean uses a chrome plated hammer gun.

Well I doctored it up as good as I could with the self-sticking camo tape... problem was that I couldn't see the front bead over the tape so I got a little inventive. I took apart a trolling spinner rig and used the hot pink flexible plastic tubing. It slipped right off the bead so I held a match to the end of it for a second to melt the plastic forming bead that now snaps over the bead and is difficult to take off. Trimmed it to length and it worked perfectly.

The last picture was about 4 minutes after the shot.
