Why are fishing rods prohibited in hand luggage when travelling by airplane in Europe?
Can anyone explain why exactly we cannot take a cheap collapsible fishing rod in hand baggage? (Europe, e.g. UK and Spain)
I mean seriously, what am I going to do? poke someone gently from a distance?

Can you take a fishing rod as hand luggage?
Rods and reels are permitted as checked luggage and are also allowed as carry-on luggage by T.S.A. The only hold up is that rod tubes can sometimes not meet size requirements set by airline carriers for carry-on items. Make sure you check with your carrier to confirm that they will allow you to bring your rod tube.Can I take fishing hooks on a plane UK?
Hooks, in check luggage. Not hand. Plastic tubes without hooks fine in hand luggage. Reels, take line off if in hand luggage.Flying With Fishing Tackle: Is It Allowed On The Plane?
