Anglinarcher Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Do a search for photo finishes. I know that Husky gave a great way of doing it by printing a fish picture on tissue paper and then applying the tissue to the lure. The ink shows but the tissue disappears. I do it by printing fish pictures on water transfer decal paper that you get for making decals for models. You would be shocked how well the lures work out, no paint required. LOL Still, now a strong clear coat is critical. Both of the above methods work best with a good under paint to get started. I often use a white belly, a dark back, then transfer the decal over. Sometimes I will use a foil base and put the decal over that. I am responding while using IE so I cannot cut and paste to give you the link, but like I said, Husky gave a perfect tutorial in March of 2008. Check it out.
