Make sure your insurance cover is for accidental dameage not defined events. Also ensure they are covered outside the home and have been specified if worth more than the limit for your policy, take into consideration any upgrades / braid etc for the replacement cost. Get them noted individualy on your policy if this is the case, photos are a good idea - make sure that the make / model is visable. Please be aware many policies will not cover sporting goods when in use.
Yep most airlines won't permit reels with line, so that means removing the spools if you want to take them on as hand luggage. I don't really see the point though, if I lose the spool in my checked baggage and I only have the reel that's no good to me...
i work for virgin freight and my advice would be individual steel box's padded with foam lol. qantas are horrible none of them care and everything gets thrown around.

Luggage
Hand luggage would be the go but I think Qantas are frowning on reels with line on the spool being carried on as hand luggage.
Rosco had some hassles recently.

Hope you have been pumping some iron prior to going Jay- just googled it, looks bloody awesome- the Stella's will surely get a solid workout.
Are you going on Nomad charters?
