I should have sent jigs and poppers to Bret.

The rod case length limitation is also changed from 7' to 6'2".

I can ship them back if you want. Did continental charge you a lot for the rod case? Most other airlines changed the length to 62"

That is linear 62" which is even worst!
I have my Puerto vallarta trip covered now that I found a rod case that will collapse down to 6 ft. Luckily, Alaska airlines still will accept 80" linear.

For those who do not know, linear means the total lenght plus the height plus the width of the tube.

I don't have any two piece rod that can fit in the 62" linear.

Some airlines have stated that nothing over 82 linear will be accepted as baggage.

Oh, here is a link to baggage limits of some airlines.
Looks like Kilsong may have gotten off cheap.
Checked bag fees, airline by airline

We are heading to the dock now. Fishing was good. I had three yellowfin on poppers. The boat had about 45 yft and the biggest one is close to 200 lbs. One guys had a about 300 warsaw grouper.
I'll give a detailed report soon.
