Rally1148:
Hey all,

I will be flying to Manitoba to do some ice fishing and I wanted to take a few rods with me. I have the Scheels 2.0 case and was wondering if anyone had taken that through airlines (via checked luggage). My thoughts were that it should be sturdy enough, as it may flex, but will pretty much prevent any flexing past the rods normal.

Anyone have other ideas on taking a few rods?

Thanks in advanced.

MJS:
Just a thought, but what about a short rod tube, and take it on the plane? is there a length limit?

michianafisherman:
Mail them to your destination?

fish/hunt4ever:
I would just get a small gun case or hard case and check them with lures and such. A lot easier that way then going through the metal detectors and such and getting things all checked, just put a lick on it and check it would be my suggestion. Plus a hard case will protect them especially how much most rods costs cheap insurance.

wyogator:
I would get a short rod tube or make one out of 3” or 4” diameter pvc.  Take the reels off, pack them in checked luggage and carry the rods on.
