It does depend on the airline, the airport and the TSA. I have an Abel 3 piece rod case that I use. Most of the time I have no problem taking it as a carry on. Likewise reels (it is a good way to identify TSA fishermen, as I did in Miami). I am careful not to carry on wire leader, knives, or really large salt water hooks. Some planes do not have overhead bins large enough to hold the 3 or 2 piece rods, esp the intl route aircraft. Usually I am able to get flight attendants to put in a closet but one must be mindful not to forget the case in the closet. The case does count as a second carry on. The backpack with holder for rod tube worked well for my cousin. I also have checked rods in tubes inside duffle bags. I have been made to check my rod tube on the way back from brazil - they said t wasn't permitted. But not from other countries so far. In the us I have only had overhead storage constraints but the closet has worked out.
