The next time you go through Security with some fishing gear, and they tell
you that you cannot carry it on, are you going to bring up this web page?

Unfortunately, you're going to lose the argument!!

When I went to Sun Valley last fall. I printed out all of the below
documentation
and carried the TSA's number 1-866-289-9673. I was told by one of their
agents, "If you have a problem carrying it on, just give us a call and we
will
talk to the screener".

The below info is from:
http://www.tsa.gov/public/interapp/e...orial_1188.xml

Fishing Rods / Poles - Fishing Rods are permitted as carry-on and checked
baggage. However, please check with your air carrier to confirm that it
fits within
their size limitations for carry-on items. Ultimately, it is the carrier's
decision as
to whether or not it can be transported as carry-on baggage.

Tackle Equipment - fishing equipment, including small hooks, should be
placed
in your checked baggage. Some tackle equipment can be considered sharp and
dangerous.
