You can take most 2 piece rods as carry-ons. I have a 9' spinning rod that fits in a 57" Cabelas rod case. I have traveled with it as a carry-on 3 times, most recently was last August, and have never been asked to check it. If your rod of choice can fit in a case of this length you can put it in the overhead or better yet ask the attendant to put it in the coat closet.
