Guide & decal question?

Anyone know where I can find a decal to put on a rod to measure fish. I have seen these on custom rods that look like a measuring stick. Also, is there a supplier in the U.S. that sells fuji LDBSG guides? These have been out for only a couple of years? Thanks guys. Y'all have been loads of help and very good reading.

What (I think) looks a lot classier than a ruler, is a small wrap at the 6, 9, 12, 15 inch marks (or whatever measurements you want). Don't have any experience with the stick on rulers, but I'd wonder about their durability unless it had a coat of finish over it and that would severly detrimental to the rod performance, I would think!

The ones I have seen were on surf rods above the foregrip. Most states including Florida have such strict lenght limits that you need a precise way to measure. The fish I catch have limits of 10, 11, 12, 15,18,etc. Thanks for the reply.

The Academy and Wal-Mart by me sell the stick on rulers. They are really cheap and cheesey looking though.
