I flew United from San Diego to Denver and United Express from Denver to Great Falls, MT in June. My partner carried a 3 piece rod tube and I carried a Fishpond case with 4 rods and 8 reels. No problems in security or on the planes.
However, the trip took 23 hours. It would have been a 20 hour drive! It was faster to get to Patagonia last year.
I always carry the TSA carryon regs that specifically state that fishing rods, reels and lines are allowed.
We paid $25 each way for our checked bags.
Have a great trip.
I have a Grey Line 3 weight that is magic, and Evotec G3 reels and spools.
The Color Series rods were discontinued 2 years ago. I think that coincided with moving the production from Sweden to Asia. The current rods are coded Multi and Opti.
The Evotec G3 reels are gorgeous and totally silent, a feature I like a lot. No clicking or buzzing.
The Evotec reels come in 3 frame weights, and each weight has a about 3 sized of spools. I have 2 Lightweight (LW) frames and 4 spools that sapn from 2 to 7 weight lines. I’ll soon add a Mediumweight
I just got back from the Argentinian Patagonia. I hope your guides are more receptive than mine of using your flies. And of fishing Pancora imitations. They content that fishing Pancora on the bottom risks too many hang ups.
I was quite surprised, at US Customs in Dallas this week (returning from a Patagonia trip) that they dipped my felt soled boots in a disinfectant, wrapped them in plastic bags and returned them to my duffel.
I appreciate their effort, but I’ll still put the waders and boots in the freezer for a few days after they have a week to dry. Maybe I’ll add the streamers also.
