Nice wee cruncher Wullie,I used to like a melanistic cove at Lithgy
using melanistic PT,rather than a dyed black tail.Proper melanistc is more charcoaly with hints of bottle green.

Where does someone find such an interesting product? Is it by luck in the store or is it put aside and sold as melanistic?
