I measure from the butt cap end up, and get decal connection to make me a nice ruler decal and place it on the rod according to what is needed. For a smallmouth bass I'd start the ruler at 17" and go to 24". cover with 2 coats of finish and you've got a ruler that last as long as the rod! And it looks nice too.

I use a Sharpie and some holes drilled in a clear piece of plastic. Large hole for the 1st mark and small holes for the others.
My 1st mark from the butt is 12", therafter every 3" out to 24". They come in handy for picture taking to confirm 'fish stories!"
If you don't like them a bit of alcohol and they are gone. Sharpies come in a multitude of colors now days.
