Thread: How do you carry your rods on a plane?

stormwater pipe?
glue the ends on.

Oversize bagagge is no worries - you just get charged for it.

Obviously you need to pack them in a tube of some description and make sure they can take a substantial weight being dropped on them, but as long as you do that well enough then it shouldn't be a problem.

Except one end which you use a screw on cap , other words you wont get your rod out of it

You can buy proper fishing rod holders from most fishing shops - I bought one last year - about $45 from Amazon in Wetherill Park

No problems with the plane as already mentioned.

no one else can either---
just chop one end off,, buy a new cap for the return trip,,

what he said, just make the tube long enough to be able to saw a bit off, and throw the extra cap in your luggage for the return trip
now the saw and the glue you may have to pre organise to be available at the destination.




or cut the rods in half!!!!!!!

glued on at one end and screwed on at the other, i can drill a hole in the side and the cap and use a padlock to secure, that way no saw and glue needed! unless i loose the key

thanks fellas!

cheers phil
