Going fishing with Dad

And last, I'm only a budding gear whore, so I have a limited rod
inventory. Which should I bring? 7'-4" four weight two-piece, 9' six
weight four-piece or 9' nine weight two piece. All of them? Can I get
by with just the six? Is it going to be a national security issue if I
try to fly with a two-piece nine footer? The damn thing is nearly five
feet long in the case.

I've flown with a two piece 9' rod before. Once it fit in the overhead
bin. The other time I asked the attendant to stow it for me and she
placed it upright behind the last row of seats, the ones that don't
recline.
