        <![CDATA[ Has anyone recently flown on SW Airlines carrying a long rod? Do you know if they are allowed as carry on&#39;s, and
if so what length is permissible for overhead baggage?

Need to go from east coast to west coast and back, and wondering about the safest way to ship a favorite rod (or not!).

That is very kind of you.  I have an old friend who wants to attend his 50th Class reunion the first part of September but doesn&#39;t want to fly across
country by himself.  I thought it might be a nice chance to fish the Battenkill and some of the other rivers around there while he visits his old classmates. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Finn, if your talking about Glens Falls N.Y. I live about a 2 hr. drive north of there, in the Plattsburg area. If you want you could ship your rods to my
place, pick them up and go do your thing. Then when your ready to return home (where ever that is) you can drop them off and I&#39;ll ship them out for you.
But keep in mind that I leave for Cape Breton around the 20th of Sept. and will be gone for 3 weeks. But could ship them once I return from N.S., its just a
thought.

			<description><![CDATA[ I have twice been made to pack my reels with my checked baggage by Air Canada.  The line can be a garrote don&#39;t you know.  I only carry 4 pcs graphite on a
trips and pack them in my checked baggage also.  Why hassle?  At least they inform you at the check in.
<br>
<br>
I am going back to the Glen&#39;s Falls Area in early September and would love to take a couple of Bamboo rods with me but hesitate going through Newark with
them. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Some successful strategies I&#39;ve used:
<br>
-- get to the airport early to give yourself time to deal with rod issues.
<br>
-- never had a problem carrying on reels, even with lines (some folks have had troubles, however) but I do check my flies.
<br>
-- use PVC not metal tubes
<br>
-- checking round rod tubes: they can roll off the baggage conveyors; that&#39;s how they get lost and sometimes damaged. Two or three rods, very securely
bundled, won&#39;t roll. Lately I&#39;ve been bundling... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ With some of those so called &quot;security&quot; people, a gunshot wound to the the head would result in a huge inrush of air to fill the vacuum between their
ears. I have never met a more brainless group of idiots with authority in my life. Because of my fear of a scene with them, I don&#39;t travel with my bamboo
rods. I only take an old Fenwick Voyager 4 piece glass flyrod in a plastic case with me anymore if I have to fly. I can&#39;t imagine a nightmare like not

			<description><![CDATA[ Three years ago I picked up a bamboo rod in the quad cities of Iowa and Illinois.  When I attempted to carry the rod on to the flight the TSA agent refused and
told me point blank I would not be allowed on the airplane with the rod.  I asked him to show me the regulation, which he could not produce.  The rod made it
to Montana fine.  One flying out of my home airport Bozeman Montana on Sunday I made it point to bring the rules of now allowing rods on the airplane to the
attention of the TSA... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Have flown from Washington DC on short hops, cross country, and overseas many times with (knock on cane) no problem with rods on United, Northwest, US Airways,
Southwest, Alaska Air and others. TSA should not present a problem because fishing rods themselves are permitted as baggage according to the TSA website. The
metal tube could be a problem for TSA (or the airlines) so the Cordura-covered pvc is highly recommended for air travel. Even if you pass the TSA checkpoint,
airline employees can... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Have flown many times with rods, bamboo and graphite. With TSA it&#39;s Russian roulette - sometimes no problem, especially in airports that see a lot of
anglers, other times TSA or airline employees will go by the book and refuse to let the rods on. The real problem is that you don&#39;t know which it&#39;s
going to be. If you assume you can carry on, but then have to check your rods, you may have to go back to the baggage counter (a real pain) or at least your
rods need to be packed well... ]]></description>

with lines, and six fly boxes in one of the Orvis carry it all on rod and reel carriers. I didn&#39;t have any problems with the TSA or the airline personnel.
I wanted to take a bamboo rod or two, but didn&#39;t have any that would fit in the carrier and did not want to check them. I also checked the Fishpond Chinook

			<description><![CDATA[ The only time I&#39;ve flown with a rod was last year when I went to Colorado on NorthWest. I made a rod tube out of pvc tubing, and it worked perfect. I
carried it on and stowed it overhead with no problems. There were no issues going through security. But this year, I&#39;m taking three rods and am trying to
come up with a tube that will accommodate two 7 1/2 footers and an 8 1/2 footer. I still plan on carrying the rods on the plane.
