help finding a rod decal

I need to find a decal, it would be a christian fish decal if you know what I am talking about, about 3/4" long or so, if anyone knows where I can buy one, I sure would greatly appreciate it, I have an order for a rod from the Church I go to, and I told him I would try to see if I can get one put on his rod. Thanks!

I use that symbol on all of my rods. It is fairly easy to draw it on the blank with a metalic ink pen. Just practice a little.

The symbol is called an Ichthus and it originated as a secret symbol of early Christians and still used today. Mudhole has the ichthus symbol on a rodskin that you could use, or if you want to do a search elsewhere you now know it's correct name.

Lorenzo, I downloaded a couple of JPEG versions of the Christian fish symbol and I converted them to the EPS (Encapsulated Post Script) format that Decal Connections needs to make a decal. Email me and I will send you the files. Just about any graphic image can be copied from the internet, converted to an EPS file using GIMP freeware, and sent to Decal Connection for production. Easy peasy.

Just did a couple of rods myself with that symbol, I got the image off a clipart website and printed it onto inkjet decal paper.Looks fine.
