Is there s stencil for applying the bluegill or sunfish patterns on the sides of the crankbaits?? The ones i have look to be a photo thats printed and applied to the side of the cranks. Where can i find them or how do i make them??

Basically, photo finish baits are made by printing a pic of a real fish with an ink jet printer on tissue paper and gluing it to the sides of a crankbait. The tissue paper soaks up the glue and becomes semi-transparent so the fish pattern is what mostly shows. You have to find the pic on the internet, then correctly size it for your bait with photo software. A lot of guys apply the pic to a bait they have previously foiled. There have been several discussions about the technique on tackleunderground.com if you want more specific information.
