bob,essentially it is a luggage issue. near as i could tell, all the airlines charge a premium for traveling with them. by the time that cost, plus the cost of a travel tube gets added up, i'm better off just buying stuff to keep down there.besides, even with a tube, i'm not sure my 1-piece 8-footer is going anywhere.can't ship'em down either. there's nobody around to sign for them! condo's vacant right now during the summer. they rent it to the snowbirds during the winter and will probably retire there once they're ready.thanks for the good wishes!ash
Bob,Things may have changed. We're flying out of philly on usa3000 and they wanted $35 and Southwest wants $50 on the way back. Rising fuel costs may have made the airlines stingier with their baggage restrictions?That's $100+ just to transport (including tube). Not worth it, if you ask me.Now, if I was going on a trip solely for the purpose of fishing, I'd bite the bullet and bring along my better gear.ash
my plan is to bring my reels down with me.
