Why are fishing rods prohibited in hand luggage when travelling by airplane in Europe?

Generally speaking, you are not allowed to bring on board things that can be used to hurt someone or to hide something dangerous, and a foldable fishing rod fall into both categories at once, even if mostly in the first.

It’s the same problem photographer can have with tripods and similar (and that I had once with an old lens). If you can take something on board and (reasonably) change it into a weapon (of sort)…it’s a no no.

Think it this way: even if it’s an annoyance, it’s a way less annoyance than blowing up in mid-air or paying a really quick visit into a building.
