Questions about flying and what can be in your carry on

[Rambo]

Last year I took my rods and reels to Kuai, HI on Delta Airline. No problem with carrying your reels but terminal tackle should be place as a check in or with your other luggages. My adjustable rod tube was under the oversize limit cause I only took 2 piece rods instead of my 1 piece rods. Check the oversize limit height so you could aviod the charge. Yes TSA will check the rod tube to see if you stuff anything down there so pack gears that is useful to handle the fish not to the extreme. It was $25 to check in my rod tube on delta. But it's always nice to be near water when your traveling and trying to catch new species. Tight line.......
