Never had problems carrying hookless lures - including international and US domestic which are way worse than our domestic usually.

I accidently bought some lures in Brunei and put them in my carry on bag and they let me through - totally surprised. I can't see an issue if they are in your luggage.

Now allowed to carry on reels spooled up with braid as well. Once upon a time it was not allowed...only reels on carry on with no line. Was classed as a weapon because you could strangle someone with it. Seems they have relaxed the security over the years.
