I fly into Colorado Springs earlier this summer. I didn't want to check any of my gear. I bought a small wheelie douffle (carry on size) and was able to fit my reels, boots, waders and sling pack in. I was able to get a 4 weight and 6 weight rod in one tube. Their was no way I was going to check my gear. I can afford to lose a couple hundred bucks in clothes but not my fishing stuff!
No problems either way. security didn't even give me a hard time about the floatant in the carry-on.. The rod tube really doesn't take up any space in the overhead.
I did put a couple of knives in my checked bag.
Hope this helps.

Flew to and from Wisconsin in July and carried on several rod tubes taped together (including one for a 2-piece rod). Not a problem at all.--Scott--
