There is nothing wrong with the length of the booms. Best to keep the snoods shorter than the booms though to prevent tangles and make them work most efficiently. About 3/4 the length of the boom is good. 12 lb line is also fine. Consider using smaller hooks though if using worm baits, size 2 or 4. Size 1's are good if using crab.
