Re: Shore rigs
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.
