Has anyone who has flown recently “carried on” fishing tackle? I’m flying to Flordia tomorrow morning. I’m packing light and will carry on my clothes and a handful of lures for punching, swiwbaits and topwater (rods are waiting for me). The TSA is very vague on tackle and recommend checking luggage for large hooks. What is large..…shark hooks?? I’m starting to worry that I may have to forfeit my tackle of 5/0 and 6/0 hooks. Not a huge loss, but added up with jigs at $5 each, and it could be costly (still cheaper than checking luggage). In the past I haven’t had an issue, but for some reason I’m worrying a bit this time…….

Nice to finally meet you tonight. Make sure you tell me who you are again next time you come in. I will probably forget.
Let me know when you are dropping in again and I'll make sure we have more of those beverages around!
This northern boy needs a little help with this one.
Dried up kill hole in the duck timber?
Quicksand that all the deer fell into?
Cool lighting in a forest that’s so different from ours?
I’ve never been in the AR woods before but you’ve arrived by the looks of it.
Good luck.
