Been doing it for years...
never had any issues...
line on all reels...
would never ever trust the yahoo baggage checkers with my reels...
especially after hearing about the luggage theft going on at LAX...

Where are you going? Have you looked into renting gear at your destination instead of carrying stuff around?

i've flown on alaska airlines both to and from hawaii and alaska and hand carried multiple reels without a problem. I even hand carried a bunch of big hooks, no issue.

I've done it many times with no problems, most recently last August, and plan on doing it again this summer. Don't check anything valuable that you do not have to.

Perfect set of responses. Thank You! Heading to East Cape this Friday and staying at Rancho Leonero for 6 days. No plans to rent gear due to fact I like to pull on fish with my own gear..........just hope my knots hold up
