RF:
TSA:
rods in three piece or four piece cases...all reels...abel pliers...small flies bonefish permit... tarpon ususally no...
airlines if I get through TSA that's it for me...pre-911 did two piece carry on...I not tried it since but if TSA lets it through...it will still fit in most newer planes 'cause the overheads are not bulkhead like the old planes
