Some airlines say you can carry on a rod if it's less than a certain length. Has anybody tried? I've always been too worried because I didn't know what I'd do with it if it didn't work.

Yes they will allow it, but all has to be ck luggage!! Rods can go but nothing more then 72". I just ck'ed all this stuff.
The Zip Lock trick is a good Idea!!
Also you are allowed just 2 suit cases for your money, and not to be a ounce over 50 pounds or you have to pay a Surcharge!!
Anything more then 2 suitcases is also a extra charge from $25 to $50

I tried to take rods up to 6 foot to Florida VIA carry on and it held the flight up because they had to bring them to the cargo to carry them. then I had to go and pick them up at a special place in the airport, next time I will just bring reels and buy a rod and give it away when I return home. big hassle |
