It isn't the cost of extra baggage that worries me it is the good chance they lose my stuff on the way to my vacation destination. I travelled a lot and on more then a few occasions either my tackle or my Golf Clubs were either late 3 days into my short trip or never showed up at all. I started to Fed Ex my stuff ahead an lug it back on the plan. Never a lost anything again.

I've been going back and forth on what I'm going to do this summer for the family trip to Florida. I'm leaning towards shipping it beforehand but since this isn't a fishing trip and much more of a family/Disney trip. I've got some travel rods so I'll look into the airlines policy on sports equipment.
