Hi guys,

I have finally gotten around to building myself a Chicago Bears themed rod... anyone have an idea as to where I might be able to find a small decal to put inbetween the grips? yes, I know DA BEARS... maybe I can beat up on the fish with it as badly as Chicago got beat up last year. LOL

thanks,
Tom

Last year I built my Granddaughter a Baltimore Ravens themed rod . I found that fingernail decals that they use in these nail shops worked great. Not sure how big you want it but for her rod I put one on each side.

If you google it, on line you should find what you are looking for. Hope this helps.

Tom,

I can't help you with Da Bears sticker, I got a couple Packer ones if you need them? LOL! Actually, I've built a couple team rods for friends using eye black out stickers. The stickers that go under your eyes. They are vinyl. And I've had good success with them.

Mike,

I am sure that I may end up needing a couple of the Pack stickers once the family sees this rod.....I was actually raised in WI so I am sure that I will wind up needing some eventually.


Where did you find the vinyl's?

The fingernail decals will fade fairly quickly in the sun. After 3 years, the Packers "G" on my dad's rod is just about invisible. Maybe, the vinyl eye black-out stickers hold up better?

Tom,

I've gotten mine a couple different places. As I am only just up the road from the Lambeau Field, I got my Packer decals from the pro-shop. I also was asked to make another rod that the team if mentioned, will cause my grandfather, God rest his soul, to roll over in his grave. I got those decals off your favorite teams pro-shop on line or any @#$%& site. If you are in the need of Packer decals email me, I maybe able part with a few to save you a few $$.
