    "It's a grey area, whichever forum you look in! I travel a lot on fishing trips and have only had problems with fishing gear in handluggage twice; both times it was line. Once in Dominican Republic, where I was not allowed to go back out and put the reels in my hold luggage, so had to unspool more than a mile of mono, braid and fly lines, then chuck it away"

    This is a problem i could see happening. i also had my suitcase stolen at the airport when i arrived once so im not sure what is best 🙁 maybe having 1 rod and reel in hand luggage and 1rod and reel in the suitcase.
    I have been let on with lead weights in my hand luggage before

    Great info, but be very careful if you are planning international travel as lines may be taken off you, or, as happened to me, I went back through customs and immigration in Australia and got a bag and checked my reels in. A customs official seriously suggested I just discard my lines!

    The only issue with carrying on a rod case like those is they don’t fit well in the overhead compartment. You’ll be that guy that takes up all the space in the overhead with an ill fitting case. They do fit under the seat but it takes up the entire length of the floor under you. If you don’t have a window seat then you run the risk of it getting stepped on if your neighbor needs to get up. Unless I know I’m sitting in first class I don’t bring my rod case ( I have the Orvis Safe Passage Carryall).

    I would be very careful trying to take a fly reel with line on it onto a plane. I have heard that the line tends to get flagged and you do not want to lose your $50-100 fly line……Also thank you for being honest about brands and quality, a lot of brands like to make it sound like their gear is the best even when it is not. Great Video!
