{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Traveling by air with fly rods

Thanks Andrew.  I have a flight coming up to Belize I'm trying to prepare for.  More than anything, I'd expect hassle about trying to bring aluminum tubes on the plane rather than the rods themselves.  Having had bags lost, I hate the idea of checking the rods, even with a TSA lock on the bag.

See above as well. This topic comes up on the forum every several months. I used to be very OCD about my rods (transporting in separate PVC pipes in a golf bag) but unless I'm traveling with a spey rod or more than two rods, I typically just bring them onboard my flights now. Haven't ever had an issue.

Slow to reply but some countries, especially in central and south america have strict guidelines for fishing equipment that requires them to be checked. From personal experience Argentina and Costa Rica will not allow, rods, reels, lines, or hooks in the cabin.

Does anyone here have any advice on traveling with fly rods by air?  Do most people check them in their bags, or carry them in the cabin? If you've carried them on, is it ever a problem getting them on past security or the size limit for carry on bags?
Thanks.
