Dan pointed me to the TSA website. http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/hunting-and-fishing-equipment
Their advise is below.
Airlines don't seem to have a problem with fly rods as carryons or personal items. Any sharp items go in your checked bags. The only thing that I worried about were the knives. Flies don't count as sharp or dangerous.
Fishing
Fishing Rods/Poles
Fishing Rods are permitted as carry-on and checked baggage. However, please check with your air carrier to confirm that it fits within their size limitations for carry-on items. Ultimately, it is the carrier's decision as to whether or not it can be transported as carry-on baggage.
Spear Guns
Spear guns are prohibited from carry-on luggage. These items should be packed in checked luggage. Any sharp objects packed in checked luggage should be sheathed or securely wrapped to prevent injury to baggage handlers and security screeners.
Tackle Equipment
Fishing equipment should be placed in your checked baggage. Some tackle equipment can be considered sharp and dangerous. Expensive reels or fragile tackle such as fly's should be packed in your carry-on baggage.

I just flew back from Alaska on Saturday. I flew there with a four piece and back with the same four piece and a cheepo 2 piece since I managed to break my 4 piece. Both as carry ons with no problems at TSA.

I have an 8wt 9ft. rod in a reel and rod tube I want to take. How much of a pain is it to take this with you on air travel? Can it be brought on as a carry on, or does it need to be checked?--Any advice is greatly appreciated.Carlos V.
