I asked Dani, and she said check them, unless you are looking to be strip searched. BOS is still considered a high risk airport.

I took some down on united recently and they never even looked at them. I actually mailed them down but got lazy on the way back up and rolled the dice. I walked right through with 2 plano boxes full without being stopped.
and for the record.. this was providence-tampa

Couples years ago United website inferred to check tackle (hooks). I've never done hooks/tackle but they looked briefly on the scanner at my reel in my carryon and laughed.

i'd check them....don't matter what the airline tells you. It's up to the clown in tsa. And if you have to check it at that point your at the end of the line again.

Check them ... as for the rod(s) that you may bring, I'd be careful about packing rods through Miami airport ... a number of years ago, I was coming back from Miami - had four fly rods (all top of the line) and two custom plug sticks stolen after I checked the rod tube in with the airline, more than $2000-$2500 worth of rods stolen, that never showed up on the other end. When I lived in Miami, there was always news reports about theft taking place in the airport, along with drugs ... as a result ... when I travel with gear, I always fed ex a tube to the destination, refuse to lose that gear again ... didn't get even close to have back for them, only about a quarter of their worth, a huge loss ... so be careful ... or you may have to buy a new rod.

I would recommend checking them. Going to fish in Ireland I lost a few plugs I had in my carry on.

Quoted directly from the TSA sight:
"Tackle Equipment - Fishing equipment should be placed in your checked baggage. Some tackle equipment can be considered sharp and dangerous. Expensive reels or fragile tackle such as fly's should be packed in your carry-on baggage."
