You can do them yourself if you own an inkjet printer.

Sorry, that was the wrong link- that was for laser printers- the inkjet link is here-

There are various products to soften the decal to make it conform to the countours of the surface on which the decal is to be place, but I doubt you will need that for a rod. Anyway they are just acetic acid so vineagar will do.
Other products will "set" the decal, hardening it. These might be worth investigating - website as above search "Microsol"- as the rod is liable to get wet. The decals will accept a covering of spray lacquer to protect them.

America is your best bet.
