Although various fishing gear such as fishing rods, reels, hooks, and lures can be allowed in a plane, the final decision on what is allowed through the checkpoint solely lies with the TSA. However, some of your fishing gear may not be allowed by the airline carrier if they do not meet the set size requirements. Fishing rods are probably going to be the most challenging fishing gear when traveling on a plane. As such, packing them to meet the specific regulations put in place by the airline carrier can present the biggest headache.
In other words, fishing rods are allowed on airplanes but the biggest issue revolves around carry-on size limitations. Keep in mind that carry-on size limitations slightly vary from airline to airline, so be sure to check with various airlines to find out their carry-on size in terms of length, weight, and width before you book. You can also consider investing in travel rods that can be disassembled in three or four pieces to make them very compact for your travel.
You can, therefore, choose to go with a one-piece rod but you must be ready to check them in. Skip to main content. Turn on suggestions. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type.

One item of fishing equipment is considered: two rods, one reel, one landing net, one pair of fishing boots properly encased , one fishing tackle box. Please note: all equipment should be packed in a hard-sided container. Even if you find a cheaper ticket, you may end up paying more in total once additional baggage fees are added on. What about international travel? The TSA sets the rules in the United States, but other countries have their own regulations which are often different.
In my experience with fishing equipment like rods, line, sinkers, swivels, etc. Larger hooks have the highest probability of causing problems. I do know that Mexico does not allow you to carry on pliers of any size. Traveling on an airplane with fishing equipment is certainly a hassle, but it can be done. I am flying to Upstate NY in Feb.
Next trip i plan on bringing an 8wt 4pc rod and 2 tenkara rods well one is a keiryu rod ill use for slinging czech nymphs and live bugs. And a landing net. I want to bring my 4wt fly rod but its 2pc and we arent checking baggage. When i flew to Puerto Rica, they made me take off my glasses. Im certified legally blind without my glasses.
So of course i was acting odd, im walking blind into a glass tube i cant see. They yanked me from the scanner and they grabbed me to that back room of there and the rubber gloves came on. I raised hell and caused a big scene. My glasses which i placed on top of my jacket in the bin got bound up in the conveyer of the carry-on xray machine and it shut the whole line down.
Backup pair in the car but there was no way i was gonna find my car or a bathroom for that matter.. I started screaming curse words for my glasses and they told me to calm down or they would detain me. I didnt calm down. All hooks are supposed to be in checked luggage.
