On my next trip I am going to use my hard ski case. It can telescope
up or down as far as necessary, and I can get, I believe, multiple
rods in it. I will use rubber bands around individual rods, keeping
them in their socks. Then I plan to bind them together with one or
two strips of velcro. And I can put a lock on the case. But, of
course, it will have to be checked, but I think it should be safe from
theft and/or damage. Hard ski cases are very durable. I never had an
problems with skis, and they will not know it has only fishing rods in
it, and not skis. FWIW.
