fishing gear/hand luggage

[Ricky Lim]

Hi everyone

Going on a popping trip in a few weeks. I am travelling from perth to noumea. Had afew problems in the past so would like to know others experiences. Anyone had problem with security check point while carrying their reels with line as hand luggage?
Also with poppers as hand luggage (new ones and battled up ones)?

Regarding to these topic, i am always in different situations on each trip. i have checked with the airlines and airports in the past and current, but i seem not gettng any helpful info at all.

Thank you Mark

Thanks guys

Read the discussion from the link. Yes, it has happened to me. Got away most time, but was an issue on my last trip. Guess you guys right, why take the risk!!
Make it hard when the airline lost your luggage 2 years in  a roll.

But what about your lures ( without hooks offcourse )?
Especially the rare ones. I know a friend use to carry them as hand luggage without problems.
But does that come down to luck.!!!!!!!!!Mmmmh

Ricky, it would probably be tidier if this discussion too place in the existing thread rather than start all over again.

How could hookless lures possibly be regarded as prohibited as hand luggage?

Ricky, I find problems arise when you are changing aircraft and get luggage checked through. For single flights, losing luggage is a rare occurrence. I always try to pick my luggage up and recheck it if possible.

Thanks guys
