Do a search on the tackle making forum under personalized rod making. That, hopefully, will get you the answer you're looking for. I just got into custom rod wrapping and am curious as to how you want to personalize the rod? BTW, I think it's a great idea to personalize rods, even if they're not custom rods, for someone.

Any kind of signatureing or personalization of rods today can be done 2 differant ways.

The first being with your best handwriting (in a steady hand), a very fine brush 000, and paitenance.

Take many tries to get it right, and must be covered/protected with a finish.

The easiest is decaling the rod. Here is a link to an artical on the subject from the decal company I have used for 15+ yrs of custom rod building.
