If you use special markers, or pens , like gel pens etc they can
write their own names on the rods, which should be varnished when
completely dry.

I second this method. I am sure you can order some pens from the
internet. Let the students sign their rods near the cork and then
varnish over it (ala custom made rods). The same with the reels - I'd
use the reel seat - and fly boxes. Or, if you have access to a Dremil
tool, engrave their names on the reel seat and boxes.

Hey, just think. If one of these kids turns out to be the next Lee
Wulff, you could have a priceless treasure some day. d;o)

I agree.
A Gangy paint marker (or similar) in gold or silver (depending on the color
of the blanks) with a fine point and use Sally's Hard as Nails as a sealer.
Epoxy would be better.

This sounds good...I'll test some marker pens to be sure the solvent
in Hard As Nails doesn't smudge the paint. I think the kids would get
a kick out of being handed a rod with their name written on the shaft.
