There is no way the baggage handlers will bend roughly 1.5m-2m of 90mm pipe unless the jamb it between two steel posts and physically bend it around them... good luck :cheers:
Tell that to the boys that took a dozen custom rods to the hobie worlds in a tube and received them all snapped in half...

Considering the value of the contents throw a bit of money at the quality of the pipe...
90mm pvc should bteak like that ynless something was smashed against it

That looks like it’s been run over by a luggage truck or something like that! No suitecase or amount of throwing it around would do that

Not to mention even slightly bending the pipe wouldn’t snap your rods after all they are pretty flexible. I’d be wanting a please explain and a refund from the airline for that kind of rubbish service, that’s a disgrace

All the “please explains” in the world doesn’t replace your rods at a holiday destination.

Hence why I suggested pressure pipe.

The problem is if there’s no local tackle shop.
