Please resist the tendency
to overpack. Fishing partners may coordinate packing of some items
to avoid unnecessary duplication. We recommend a durable, water-resistant,
lockable, top-zipper, duffel as the checked luggage. Carry your most
valuable, essential and fragile items (preferable a change of clothes,
also) in your carry-on pack. Try to fit everything into a single checked
duffel bag, in addition to a rod tube and a carry-on pack. I carry
on my reels also.
