Measuring Tape Decal

Does anyone know where you can find a decal to put on a fly rod that has a
measuring tape?

Would you like that calibrated in "standard" inches, or "man" inches?

Also, I wouldn't start it at 0, I would cut off the beginning to correspond
to the length of the handle (all the way to the end of the rod). This way,
I wouldn't have to worry about guides and such. If the fish is shorter
than my handle, I don't need to measure it, and the rod end is a convenient
measuring index.

I don't use these tapes, but I just measure against any convenient mark on
the rod, and measure later-- when I remember. Also, the type of rod you
have will make a difference when telling stories. "The 's' in Winston"
has more panache than "the 'k' in Shakespeare".

Don't do it, Frank. It will ruin your fish-on-ground photos.

Tip of the day: Carry a really tiny reel, rigged with any old line,
attached to a short, broken, light-weight rod butt. :-)

On further consideration, I have an even better suggestion. Find the
decal (or make one from a photo of a ruler) and reduce it in size. Turn
that 8" brookie into a certified lunker. You can make stick-on copies at
any Kinko's. :-)

Pictures? We don't need no stinkin' pictures.

Unethical. Prevarication is beyond any competent, gentleman fly fisher.

Much better. I didn't lie, its the camera that always put on 10 lbs.

.... and most importantly, still carry an accurate one... because they
warden isn't going to buy that as an excuse.

"What it all comes to is that the whole structure of space flight as it
stands now is creaking, obsolecent, over-elaborate, decaying. The field is
static; no, worse than that, it's losing ground. By this time, our ships
ought to be sleeker and faster, and able to carry bigger payloads. We ought
to have done away with this dichotomy between ships that can land on a planet,
and ships that can fly from one planet to another." - Senator Bliss Wagoner

I CANNOT afford to even look at that site. You know how much fun with the
local 'gills I could have with that set? Hell with that, have you seen the
tilapia and oscars in your local Red Lobster aquarium? What a blast. Just
go on a Friday, payday night where they keep you waiting for a friggen hour.
Stand on a chair and start casting to the oscars. Little streamer patterns
would work like a charm. I want one.
Hey, Wayne Knight. How many of these do you have?
