to carry on or check in?

Has anyone had any problems bringing your reels on your carry on luggage? Seems like it would be much safer to have as a carry on item. I'm flying on Alaska Airlines and will have to give them a call but thought I would start here.

thanks in advance

Some of the airlines/checks require that the reel have NO line on it. Take pictures, and get the serial numbers in the pictures if you do check them.

Thus far, I've been forced to check my reels twice; well I did have the choice of taking the line off, and checking the line, but that's a bit difficult to do in the airport while on a time schedule.

I always travel with my reels with me in carry-on, spooled; never had a problem.

Just came back from trip to Panama - no problem what so ever.

Is line considered a weapon?

You can use it to rapel out of the plane after killing the flight crew
