Default Fishing Gear Carry On?

I want to use my travel priveleges to visit a friend in Chicago for some ice fishing. I'm assuming it would not be allowed to take a pole and tackle box as a carry on. I might turn into a terrorist mid flight and take the whole plane down with a trouble hook...

What you think?

If TSA questions you and you call it a trouble hook, you're gonna get pulled out of the line.

I have taken fishing lures through with no problem, I asked TSA prior and they told me small size hooks are OK they just don't like the really large hooks. There is no definition as far as what a large hook is, I am sure it will vary by screener.

I travel with this Combo Cabela's: Penn SSg/Cabela's Salt Striker™ Travel Spinning Combos with a couple lures inside the rod tube in a ziplock bag.
